Newly diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer

hi 

anyone out there ? I feel so alone right now 

diagnosed last week with stage 1 BC after routine mammogram- how can I feel so well yet have this in me ? 

I realise stage 1 is early, I am lucky etc etc but right now I don’t feel it

Family being ultra positive whilst I am falling apart inside 

so feel like I can’t scream and cry like I want to!

anyone else feel like this 

  • Esta,

    it’s the bloody height of it that worries me,I panicked having the last CT scan lol.

    Yes let’s stick together and I’m more more than happy to have a friend who’s going through the same as me.... I’ve been given a tip about a cream that nobody tells you about as the one the hospital gives you is rubbish and the one I’m talking about is available on The NHS....

    plus ive been trying to find out about the tablets we will have to take for years and years after,

    My family very upset but Doctor has said it’s a blip...well it’s a bloody big blip...

     Love and happy to swop emails,Whatapp or PM on Facebook xxx

  • Hi Esta,

    live found the friends request on here and sent you a friends request!! 

    Hope this will help you and me

  • Hi haven’t received it as yet but also sent you one 

    didn’t realise we couldn’t mention hospitals etc

    be easier on private chat xxx

  • Esta,

    They will take the first few lymph nodes while in theatre and usually test them while the tumour is removed and if the Sentinel nodes are clear they leave the healthy ones lovely so as grade 1 you may well find that it hasn’t gone into your lymph nodes at all.... 

    I found out after my operation that mine are fine and everything crossed so will yours be

    love Jackie 

  • Jackie

    so you get to find out straight away if nodes are clear ? 

    That would be a relief ... xx

  • Esta,

    Yes I did as soon as I woke up from Surgery,it should have made me happy but didn’t but today at the moment feeling positive about it a bit more as I know my little 6mm has gone and my lymph nodes are clear,the Radiotherapy is to insure there is no more tiny tiny bits left that could no way be detected and the tablets are to block any cancer being fed as my numbers from my biopsy were ER positive which is oestrogen and the other 2 lots of numbers negative which is good news by all accounts!!

    love me again Xxx 

  • Hi I was diagnosed two weeks ago Monday past with IDC  .

    having a partial mesectomy and nodes tested next Wednesday. It’s scary isn’t it?

    i am fed up with people saying it’s caught early I want to scream I don’t care I don’t want cancer I don’t want to tell my kids and I don’t want this at all. 

     

  • I agree Flo it’s ridiculous what people say to you:

    your strong -no I am not !

    its early stage - still bloody cancer tho 

    Keep positive - yeh that’s easy 

    you look so healthy - no **** Sherlock 

    oh and the best to date;

    ohhhh you may need a wig - thanks 

    my nurse said it’s now 1 in 2 women - how the hell is this happening !

     

  • God thanks that would be good to know ! C

  • Hi Flo,

    yes can only but agree with you they all mean well but like you I didn’t want mine like us all on here.... cry and rant helps for a while but yes it’s still there after I know....

    Sending you a big hug from me who had her operation a week ago today and to you lovely and feel your pain and worry..... we must all try and support each other so we can all get through this nightmare
