I was diagnosed last week … I have my first appointment with Oncology today.
I saw your message and immediately felt bad that you only had one reply since October. I have been reading the forum almost daily since my diagnosis and I can imagine that when you don’t get a reply it must feel like shouting in the wind.
I like the nickname you have given yourself - it sums up how I feel too 
Half my head is serene zen … the other half is an out of control screeching chimpanzee. I hope you are tiptoeing through all your processes with your inner zen and as everyone says -we WILL get through this.

I really feel for you
I have been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer had breast conserving surgery and lymph nodes - negative for Ca in lymph nodes
Tumour removed with margins but further look following removal aggressive grade three so due to start chemo and radiotherapy in January.
My head has been all over the place very tearful ++ anxious depressed, worry of has it already fragmented microscopic cells somewhere else and the not knowing after treatment whether it has or not as only investigation following this will be a yearly mammogram so how can one know if it has. The headspin on this is any ache or pain after this has it latched on somewhere else in my body - it’s how to manage this longterm without going absolutely crazy.
I am in the medical profession myself and sometimes I think it makes it worse.
