Hi, sorry you have had to post on here. There are sadly others in the same boat as you. I will bump up their posts - so that they are nearer the top of the list. I expect one of them will see your post any way.

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage too - life is a real bummer at times.

Once you know your treatment plan you will feel a bit netter and you will get lots of support on here.

Hi Terri

I’m in a similar situation, was diagnosed last week with invasive breast cancer (not sure of stage yet - 1or2 I think).
I’m 29 and have 2 small children (3 and 22 months) and its really tough dealing with this and also staying strong for them.
I had SNB yesterday, results not for about 10days so more waiting! Due to have MRI on monday(24th) and am also hoping that its all just contained in the one breast (right!)

I’m so sorry that you’re here too and that you’ve had such a rough time recently.

Have you been given any idea on your course of treatment?
Feel free to pm me if you like.

Hugs
