Hey I've just found out that I have breast cancer and maybe it's also in my lungs. I've got agoraphobia and haven't been outside in 12 years. About 2 years ago I found a lump, I convinced myself it was a cyst due to my agoraphobia as I couldn't leave my home. It got to the point where I was hiding it from my partner as the skin bruised and there is a lump like a golf ball sticking out and it weeps. He knew something was off but I just shut him out. About a month ago I lent forward and it burst and started bleeding so I got rushed into hospital. After having a biopsy, ct and pet scan I now know its cancer and I'm absolutely terrified. I'm only 29 so breast cancer was not something I was letting myself think about. I'm due to start chemotherapy next week and I really have no clue what to expect. Ino they are not operating yet and they are trying to shrink it first and are going from there. I'm just wondering is there anyone on here who knows of any tips to help me through? I don't want to Google and freak myself out as I'm m freaked enough and I haven't got anyone in life who I can talk to about it. Sorry for rambling on I'm just after some help/tips to help along as I panic when there and when the nurses and doctors talk I just blank out which isn't good.
