Hello

Diagnosed with breast cancer Recently diagnosed with breast cancer

I got my diagnosis of grade 2 bc yesterday fri 5th Oct, I thought that once i had the results I would feel some sense of direction. The dark cloud did seem to lift a bit but I still have another biopsy to have done before a definitive plan of treatment can be made so still in a state of uncertainty. I’m so glad to have found this group, to be able to both recieve and hopefully give support to others in the same situation is so valuable, sharing information and experiences 

Wish I could sleep :-(

Hi Debi,
Well, glad you found us, even though you’d rather not be here of course
Don’t worry, what you feel is quite usual when first diagnosed, it only tends to settle down when the treatment plan is confirmed. Dealing with the uncertainty is the worst bit of it all.
There’s loads of support here, so do come & chat or vent whenever you need to.

Hi Debi-jo, sorry you find yourself here.  Just wanted to say hello.  The waiting in a very anxious time, we can all relate to that but it does get easier once your treatment plan is in place.  You can then join the “going through treatment” thread on this forum to chat with others going through the same.  I found this really helpful.  Here’s my story: lifeafterlola.com  you may not have such a *big* treatment plan but you can see I made it through all that and feel really good now.  Life does move on though its very hard to believe that just after diagnosis.  I promise you will laugh again.  xxxx

Hi Debi-jo. Sorry you find yourself here but its a fabulous forum witht he most amazing ladies who will help you find your way. I don’t know what I would have done without it. Its helped me be prepared at all the various stages of diagnosis and treatment.

I was like you after being diagnosed in August I needed further MRI, scans and biopsies - I know you’d probably rather you had a treatment plan in place - but its best that your team know exactly what they’re dealing with - so it will be worth all the delays - I promise.

Love

Helen

The waiting is awful I agree and like you I had more scans biopsy’s and mri and a month and two days later found myself sat waiting for my surgery , it’s difficult the wait but it’s only to ensure you get the very best and right treatment xx
