Hi all, thank you for the chats. I had my results today and unfortunately it is breast cancer. I haven't been told which one but I have been told its hormone receptive and can be treated. More tests and then a treatment plan.

Hi Lou

I wanted to give you some time before responding. Sorry you now find yourself going through what we have been going through for a while now.

Hopefully things will begin to move at some pace now and you'll get your scans and treatment plan within the next week or 2. Once you have some sort of plan put in front of you, it can help take your mind off other things. My wife actually found it to be more calming once everything was laid out in front of her. Her cancer is also hormone positive. Which will open up more treatments to yourself. In a bad situation, that is a good thing. My wife, once she is over covid, will commence with her treatment next week. She has had a very good response to the treatment. Which is almost expected, so there's that.

Please continue to use these forums as the support here has been nothing short of fantastic. also going back to your original post, please never blame yourself for this, and nor are you placing any burden on your family. No one asks for this. It's simply sheer bad luck.

Hi, I'm newly diagnosed too, IDC ER+ waiting HER2 result. I'm here if you need to chat at all. It's all very overwhelming. My head is spinning slightly, one thing I do know is we will kick its but! Good luck, if you want to chat let me know x 

Hey. Oh I'm sorry you are here too. I'm not coping well with the unknown, I find myself in a constant state of panic. But yes, like you, I am NOT going to let this beat me! We got this!! Please let me know how you get on xx best of luck with your treatment x

Agree, overall I feel ok, not sleeping well, however I think that once I get my her2 results back and have a solid plan of action I'll be much better x take it one day at a time. I am finding meditation is helping with anxiety
