Diagnosed with breast cancer yesterday, grade 2, 3-4 cm, still hasn’t sunk in, feel like I’m in a bad dream and waiting to wake up from it all. In the last couple of weeks of waiting feel like I’ve gone through so many emotions from angry to denial to crying everytime I’m in the shower when nobody is around, I feel numb. Now waiting for a MRI scan as they couldn’t see the full size/ shape from the ultrasound/ mammogram and how close it is to the skin and nipple. This will determine the treatment and type of surgery I have. Sorry to go on but not sure what to feel or how to go on, feel like my whole world as been turned upside down and cannot seem to relate to anyone around me. Trying to find the strength and be strong for my 3 kids and husband ?
This is a club non of us wanted to be in and the emotional turmoil that it brings with it. You are not alone and there are plenty of people on here who are able and willing to give advice. Don’t think too far ahead and wait to see what the MRI shows. My lumps didn’t show up on mammogram and was only seen during ultrasound (due to dense breasts) I had to wait for biopsy results for confirmation. I too had grade 2 although I had two lumps one that was benign and one that was quite large and cancerous. It had also spread to five of my lymph nodes so a mastectomy was agreed upon. Its a roller coaster ride and like you my emotions where all over the place. It does get better once you have your treatment plan so hang on in there and I hope you get your results pretty quickly.

Hi, I’m in the same position I suppose. Found a lump a month ago but it wasn’t confirmed for 3 weeks. The waiting was the worse thing ever! I’m more content now I know for sure though. Was supposed to have an appt today for HER2 results (so I would have a proper plan) but they are not back so waiting another week now!!
