Hi all,
I attended local breast care clinic for lump 29th July after tests left positive thinking it was only fibroid…only to get the news this week I have Invasive BC suspected grade 3…although caught early my HER2 is - which is good news but I’m due to have a lumpectomy next Friday and Sentinile lymph nodes removal. They believe I will need chemo due to my younger age…even talked about donating my hair …I feel like I’m in a fog. everything moving quick (good I know) but I’m overwhelmed xx

Hi Kelli
I remember how you are feeling very well, my diagnosis was 15 June and so very unexpected. Fog is a good choice of word, that is how I felt. I read the forums and could not wrap my head around any of the posts. I had so many questions and such a feeling that life will never be the same. As time has gone on I have found my own pace and rhythm. Be prepared for change and the anguish of the waiting game - these are areas I have struggled with. Give yourself plenty of time, just to take it all in, sitting quietly, yoga, mindfulness all help to clear the fog for me. I have kept a journal - nothing formal or chronological, just notes, thoughts, soundbites, songs I like, funny/sad/angry experiences - I like to write things down. Slowly you too will find a way through the fog. Think is minutes, hours not days or weeks - just take your time. I now find the forum a lifeline, I like I can reach out to those who I can remember how I felt.
Wishing you all the very best, hugs
