Can I beat this horrible disease?

Hi I posted last week because my biopsy's had to be sent off for further analysis. So I got the results on Thursday which said I had stage one breast cancer. They did more biopsy's on the day which shown calcifications on my cysts that had been discovered in may. They also said it hadn't spread to my arm pit. 
 

I was so shocked and scared that day, I was on my own and now the day seems to be a blur. I have to go back on Tuesday for my treatment plan. I'm guessing a lumpectomy and possibly radiotherapy but I can't remember what was said. I'm just so scared I'm a single mum of nine and my youngest is only four. I spent the day and evening in tears and Friday night was feeling a bit more positive... but now I'm feeling so low again. I just want to cry. I have no idea of how long I'm going to have to wait to start treatment and I'm petrified of having an op. I just don't know if I can beat this. X

  • Hi everyone. I received a phone call last night telling me that my appointment for today has been cancelled, due to them not having all the results and also the mammogram showed that my breast tissue was too dense and now I need an mri scan. I'm pretty gutted to be honest as I thought once I got my treatment plan my emotions would settle down a bit. I'm now worried incase the results (and the mri) show things are at a worse stage than I was originally told. I have contacted my breast care nurse who said let's just wait and see what the results all show. Which isn't very reassuring. Back into panic mode I go. 
     

    also does anyone know the benefit side of things because I can't even get a sick note from my GP xx

     

    thanks ladies you're keeping me a little bit more sane xx

  • Hi Claire so sorry you have more waiting till you get your treatment plan. Its good that they are being thorough with mri scan and waiting for all the results then they can give you the best treatment that is tailored for you. If you type in Macmillan cancer support on Google they can give financial advice and maybe speak to the nurses on here as well number is on the page. Hope this helps. Thinking of you.
