Hello Vic1975 and a warm welcome to Cancer Chat,

It's completely normal to feel like this, especially if you've got to wait for confirmation, but talking can be a big help and I hope the forum will be useful for connecting with people. Keep chasing your clinic and we have some advice around coping with waiting for news on our website in the meantime.

I hope this helps in some way,

Hi Vic  I am so sorry to hear that they have told you it's breast cancer.  I was told in a round about way at the biopsy it was breast cancer so I was more prepared when I went to the appointment.  The waiting is the hardest part ever, sort of being in limbo.  I think keeping working if you can is the best way forward.  Have you heard anything yet or had an appointment date?  I think it is completely normal to feel, confused, scared, lonely and stressed.  Nobody can understand this unless they have been through it.  I am on here every day if you would like to chat.

Hi Lee, thanks for your reply. Yesterday I was told I need lumpectomy and then radiotherapy. But scared to be honest. They don't know the stage yet. But it is grade 2. Told thankfully it is a commin breast cancer. My surgery is 20th Nov.  

Hi Vic,  it is good to have your treatment plan.  I had lumpectomy, chemo and radiotherapy.  I can honestly say the lumpectomy was not very painful and the radiotherapy does not hurt at all, none the less it is scary.  Good luck with your surgery x
