Just told over the phone I have breast cancer

I was recalled after a routine mammogram and had some small calcification.  Had 2 biopsy last week and they just called with results to say its cancer and will refer me to oncologist. Gutted!! I'm 51 and a single mother to 6 year old twins. Scared to tell people especially my mum and scared how I will cope..

    Hello @Merlincat 

    I am so sorry to hear you have received this news, you must be so shocked right now.

    There are some lovely supportive people on here along with nurses and it may be a help to call Macmillan and talk to someone there.

    I am 50 and have a clinic appointment on Saturday after my doctor found a lump. I have an 8 year old boy who is my world so I know how you will feel about your children, they will get you through the days with their love and smiles.

    Sending support and good wishes.
