Thank you for replying. It’s been the longest 2 weeks ever just waiting! Would they really put me through all of this and tell me it’s curable if it’s not cancer? I think I'm trying to tell myself it’s not but deep down I think it is. Roll on next week when I finally get some answers. 

good luck with your treatment. I hope all goes well for you! 

Yes the wait does nothing for your mental health that's for sure. I pretty much guessed mine was cancer just by reading the room. They went very quite when the ultrasound went over the suspect area. But i believe even if it's not malignant they will still want to talk to you, face to face. Stress will give you all sorts of aches and pains, don't read too much into that. I convinced myself I had cancer everywhere, I had an awful cough (stress goes straight to my chest). Breat cancer is slow growing but I was sure it was running wild. It's an awful thing to go through whether it's benign or malignant. There's a lot of people on here so much better at words than me, hopefully one or two of them will come in and answer. Try and find things to do to take your mind off it and please, come back and tell us how you get on. We are always here to hold a hand x

Hello, well it’s been confirmed at triple negative breast cancer. I have my MRI booked in 2 weeks and just waiting for next appointments to come in. I’ll be starting off with chemo, then having the surgery after. I also have to have the gene test  which is worrying as I have 2 young daughters. I’ve just started telling my family and friends which I’ve found incredibly emotionally draining but they’ve all been amazing! 

I'm very sorry it was bad news, but now you know what you're dealing with so at least the not knowing has ended. I struggled telling people, even now I've kept it to a minimum. I could tell some people and be okay but telling others would make me very emotional. You'll get through this and come out the other side and hopefully the gene test gives good news. I am really sorry you're joining us on this journey x

I'm so sorry to hear you are going though this. I want to let you know you aren't alone.  Getting a treatment plan does help process it.

I've also had the BRCA test but fortunately it was negative, so I feel reassured for my two girls (7 and 5). 

It's so hard telling people. Despite being diagnosed in April I still have only told those I have had too. I didn't want to talk about it and there's still so many unknowns I didn't want to talk about it and be asked lots of questions that I can't answer. I am still waiting for the next step, whether chemo and radiotherapy or just radiotherapy. 

I've joined a Breast Cancer Now Younger Women Together group and there's a number in there who have TNBC (mine was ER+). If you meet the criteria to join  one of their groups I do recommend it.

Wishing you the best for your treatment. X

One more group I can recommend if anyone's on Facebook is 'UK Breast Cancer Support group - for sufferers and survivors'. They are very strict on who they let join and its the most wonderful group of supportive and knowledgeable women. Your girls are so young Redruth84, so many young women now getting breast cancers who have young children. It's heartbreaking. 

I’ve just joined this group and it is very good. My girls are also 7 and 5. It’s so hard! 

The Facebook one ? It's brilliant, very helpful, lovely people so I'm glad you found it and joined. Aw, it's a rotten thing to go through for anybody but when you have little ones.... it makes me super sad. I wish you both all the best, you and Redruth84 x Nicky.

Thanks both. It's been super hard talking the girls through it. They were great initially after surgery, but things have kind of reverted to normal now. The next stage is going to be hard when it comes but the way I see it is that I'm doing everything I can to improve my chances of beating this disease and to be here for them growing up.   Wishing you both all the best.
