  • Hi Bigjean

    I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. This is my first post on This forum and I am responding as your story is similar to mine. I am 43, with 2 young children and was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 weeks ago and it’s in my nodes. I too had to go for a CT scan, bone scan and MRI and was absolutely terrified. 

    The wait is horrible and I had pains appear where I didn’t know I could have pains and convinced myself it had spread.  

    The only think I can recommend is to keep yourself distracted, and try not to worry about what you don’t know, push it to the back of your mind. 

    Whatever those scans say you can deal with it, and there are loads of people on here who will support you. 

    Keep in touch and let me know how you get on. 

    Big hugs

  • Hi Woollylamb , 

    Thank you for your kind words . I think the waiting is the worst part . I’m trying to stay as positive as I can and keep doing normal things as I have 4 children . So have to fight for them . 

    This may sound surreal to you but my Grandads pet name for me was Woolly lamb !! 

    I hope all goes well for you too and I will keep in touch . 

    Thanks again
