Hi
So just over a week since being diagnosed with grade 2 IDC and feeling reasonably positive, I have woken up today feeling really anxious and emotional. I was initially elated that I’m HER2 negative and won’t need treatment for that. I feel everything is still up in the air as It is still unclear if I may need chemo. What a rollercoaster this cancer ride is - I wish I could get off by can’t.
I will pick up again but have posted because I know you lovely ladies will understand and relate to the emotions.

aww Mel it’s perfectly normal. I was diagnosed end of feb and although I have mostly positive days there are odd days I feel emotional, angry and bloody frustrated. The waiting is torture but I’m looking forward to a positive outcome and you will too. The suns coming out this weekend and I’m going to enjoy it. Big hugs , stay strong , tomorrow’s another day ??
Hello Mel,
I am in a similar emotional state, I had an awful day yesterday but today not so bad. It really is one of those times where no-one really understands until they have been faced with this scariest of monsters isn’t it. After two surgeries over the last two months I was relieved to discover I didn’t need a mastectomy, and now whilst I await a meeting to decide chemo vs. radio I feel my support group around me have almost disappeared, it’s like they too are relieved and they are thinking “it’s only three weeks of radio and it’s all over; business as usual”. But the emotions! No-one gets the emotions! the fear, the dread, the uncertainty for years ahead, the positive days and the negative days. Thank goodness for forums, and we are all in it together, go with it Mel, tomorrow you may feel less battered. Sending love. x
