Hi Greenlady,
Sorry you find yourself here but please don’t panic. It might sound trite but a diagnosis doesn’t always mean doom and gloom. My first cancer 12 years ago was a minor inconvenience and not a big deal. Don’t even concern yourself with worst case scenarios because realistically and statistically, its not likely to happen.

Sorry to see you’re joining us Greenlady.
The early days of diagnosis are a such a shock, we’ve all been there & inevitably, the mind goes into anxiety overdrive in trying to fill in the gaps, hence thinking the very worst, when it normally never turns out to be as bad as where our imagination takes us.
Honestly, this stage does pass when your treatment plan is in place & you know what’s going to happen & when.
Of course it doesn’t feel like it, but thankfully it will now be dealt with & the vast majority of us get through it all & get back to our lives. Treatment is excellent now.
There is loads of support from us all here, so come & chat or vent whenever you need to & when you start treatment do look at the ‘going through treatment’ board. You’re not alone in dealing with this.
Sending hugs

Hi Greenlady
Like you I was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive lobular cancer. Your kids will still have their mummy as with surgery and treatment there is often a very good outcome. I had the MRI to and had my surgery this week. Keep positive lovely. I know it’s hard when you get the diagnosis and my head was all over the place. The teams at the hospital are brilliant and will look after you. Be kind to yourself and take each day at a time
good luck and sending positive thoughts x
