Hi,

just wanted to say I had felt very tired for the 6 months before I was diagnosed. I was diagnosed with stage 2 lobular breast cancer in Oct 2019. No lymph node involvement. I would say cancer affected my energy levels for a long time before I was aware of having cancer. It hadn't spread anywhere else either, but I was constantly exhausted. 
 

Fearing the worst at times is a natural response to hearing such a shocking diagnosis. I tried hard to talk out my fears with trusted people plus try to be distracted by other things. Some days it's very hard and some days not so bad. The actual treatment programme helps us to get focussed and it eases anxieties. Hard to believe but honestly it does.  
 

I wish you well as you move forward. I always thought I would collapse in a heap if a doctor ever said the C word to me. Yes I did have a few tears initially but the treatment helped me to move on. Nearly 3 years on I am happy to be well. Not always confident it won't come back but mostly believe it won't!!!  So yes doing good and enjoying life. I wish the same for you.

Hi Kebbs

Thanks so much for your reply. I'm really pleased to hear you are recovered and well. I was really unsure about posting on here but the replies I have received have definitely helped. I am still freaking however should get my biopsy results today and hopefully some sleep tonight will help. It is the uncertainty that is so hard. If it is C I just want everything to start so I can get past it. I am dreading telling my children and my mum. My dad has only just finished cancer treatment. 
 

If I stop to think my fatigue has definitely been there for around 6 months but my life has been so crazily busy that I didn't stop to think. Am annoyed with myself for not getting checked sooner. 
 

Anyway, thanks for your reply. X
