Consultant sure its breast cancer

Hi. Ive posted on here recently. I had my breast clinic appointment today and after a examination, 3 biopsies and an ultra sound, my consultant has said he is 100% sure its breast cancer. Im due back to the hospital in a week for a mammogram, ct and mri scan. Im nervous if it has spread but my consultant is telling me its treatable. I just wanted to hear from others who have/ had breast cancer. Im scared and trying to put on a brave front. Also, i'll be having a chat with them about genetics and fertility. So much to take in but im determined to fight this!

    Sorry to hear this, I imagine your mind is all over the place at the moment. I'm 43 (I'm guessing a bit older than you) and was diagnosed in March so I get what you are going through. Someone gave me a good bit of advice - listen to and trust your consultants and dont google things!!! They are telling you it's treatable, that's a good thing - it might not be an easy journey but you will fight this! Take each day one day at a time, some days I used to take each hour at a time and shout if you want to shout,cry if you want to cry. Have you got a good support network around you? Talking does help and I've found sites like these really useful. Breast cancer now is a good website, especially for younger women- there are lots of services they offer including a telephone service where they can match you up with someone who has recently been through what you are going through. It does get easier, It might be a long road ahead, but you will get through it xx
