  • Hello,

    yes being told you have breast cancer is a terrible shock. It's like everything you have always known being turned on it's head. How can it be true? Is this really happening?? I was just stunned for a few days as I am sure you are. 
     

    It IS crap but the breast care team will have a plan for you. They will explain everything and once you are on the treatment road it does begin to feel easier. (Truly!) At the moment it feels chaotic, and so scary. All I could think of at first was my funeral!! Thankfully 2 years on that's gone. Yes cancer rudely interrupted my life. Made me feel hopeless at times and often scared...but give it time. I found the treatment helped. Moving forward and out of the cancer gloom is progress.  Then you begin to see the light again. There's hope. There's a life ahead!! 


    Be kind to yourself and hold those most dear close. They will help you along the way. I wish you good luck and good health for ASAP.
