Just diagnosed and really scared

Hello. I'm 41 and I just been diagnosed with breast cancer. I found out a week ago it's cancerc and yesterday went to get biopsy result and talk to my consultant. She told me they need to repeat a biopsy and they also want to do CT scan but the most likely scenario is that I will have chemo and then surgery. 

I'm so scared!!! 

  • I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis.  I know how scared you are feeling right now.  You have found yourself on a site with so many ladies who have been through, or going through this journey.  It’s ok to be scared. But you know that you are going to receive the best care and kick that cancer in the butt.  

    So many people here to support you.  I have just found them and they have lifted me up. 

    Yesterday I wasn’t scared at all.....today I am (which is why I came here).  It seems to be like that a rollercoaster of emotion.  

    We will win this fight !!!!!

  • I know how you feel my situation is the same. The word cancer is the worst in the world . Reading stories on here from people who have gone through it has helped. Everyone is so positive. Last night i slept for 3 hours which is more than i have been so today is going to be good.Until you know your plan i think scary will be normal but we are stronger than we think when we need to be..Take care,

  • You are so right about a roller coaster of emotions.

    So many fighters!

    Take care

     

  • I am so sorry to hear and understand how frightening it feels . I could not shaking for a week after I was diagnosed in jan . I had to read a lot before I finally accepted that I really did have breast cancer as I told myself this wasn’t really happening and that I was fine !  Get as much information as you can from the doctor and hospital or the nurses . Looking on the internet can be very overwhelming. People will all want to tell you stories of people they know and I found hearing the other stories unhelpful . I wish you well and lots of strength going through this

  • Thank you everyone. It is indeed a rollercoaster. One moment I'm positive and ready for a fight and the next one I'm crying and can't see the future. 

    I still need to talk to my kids too. 

     

    Knowing that I'm not on my own really helps. Good luck to everyone. Keep well and strong. Xxx
