Hi lovely lady,

I'm sorry to hear your diagnosis. Please do not let it get you down. My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago again totally out of the blue. She was in hospital to be treated within 4 weeks as her lump was 15mm, (massive compared to most cases). She has had chemotherapy and a mastectomy since then and has been given the all clear. She then has a re-construction and honestly you cannot tell she has had her boob removed which is amazong since she was a 38E.

I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in September 2017 after an abnormal smear test. I know this is a scary situation to be in and you feel helpless but the doctors are great and the research now is so advanced. I then found out in January 2018 that I was pregnant which was terrifying. I was scared that the cancer would affect my son and I worried about how my treatment could continue while I was pregnant. I choose to stop my treatment until I had my son in October 2018. Thankfully he was perfectly healthy and weighed in at a whopping 9lb 15oz.

I have now started my treatment again. I think it helps a lot to keep an open mind and to keep positive. Believe that the cancer will not beat you. Years ago anyone mentioned cancer and it meant death..... now I know many, many people who have survived cancer and are warriors in my eye. Im not very God following but I do believe that God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers! Keep positive and follow these forums for help, support & advice!

Good luck lass 

Best wishes

Hi 

I was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma which is stage 0 breast cancer it's still in the milk ducts. I was diagnosed from my routine mammogram in January, 16th February had my operation and just started radiotherapy yesterday. I need 5 sessions so finish next Tuesday. Radiotherapy is painless, just a pain having to go hospital every day for around 20 minutes or so. I found it helped me to read everything I could regarding my cancer so I was forewarned and it also helped me with asking questions to my oncologist and surgeon. Hope everything  goes well xxx
