Recently diagnosed with BC

Hi everyone, 

Been diagnose with grade 1 BC. It’s worrying and had sleepless nights after being diagnosed in November after second mammogram that I got .7mm grade 1 BC. No matter how old you are it really affect to individual. We are bombarded with lots of question= how to deal with it? What is my kid’s  future when I’m gone?  How long I gonna live? Can I survive the treatment when I have underlying health issues? etc, etc.  I am 60 and recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis and constant high blood pressure. 

Done the lumpectomy on 16 December 2020 and waiting for the schedule for radiotherapy. I was told with my breast doctor that after the breast operation we will wait for the biopsy. If anything left after the operation I will undergo a second breast operation. Then followed by radiotherapy for a week and medication up to 5 years. 

For now, I never tell any of our friends what’s going on. I want to keep it secret for now that I am undergoing treatment. Because to me telling them doesn’t help. I don’t want them talking about me dying. 

I only have the guts to join the chat and tell you about my health condition and hopefully we can share how we deal with our illnesses. I am a Christian and I believe God will never abandon us in times we needed Him most.

Best wishes.

  • Hi 

    I am sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with BC

    I am Diagnosed with stage 1 grade 2 BC 

    Had surgery on the 17nov 

    They did the biography on lymph nodes 

    Had MRI that came clear  so no further surgery is needed  and just started radio therapy 2 days ago for five days . I am 57

    I know it's very worrying  but you haveto stay positive  its stage one  high chances are it would not have  spread !! 

    Take one day at time and look after yourself  and tell your close family you will need family support

  • Hi,

    Thank you Jeet123  for sharing your experience. In my previous message I mentioned this that we did not tell our friends what’s going on with me. I’d rather keep it secret for now that  I am undergoing treatment. I will prefer to share it here those who have the same illness as we always understand the feeling how we deal with it. 

    For now I am still waiting to see my breast doctor and see when I’m going to have radiotherapy. 

    It’s very worrying but worrying too much  does not help. We’ll think positive and prepare ourself for the treatment and boast our immune system by eating healthy diet and that help for our speedy recovery.
