Just diagnosed and wanting to talk to people who understand

Gosh it is really funny I have just clicked on this thread and seen the posts from Delly and Jill 12 months ago asking how my rads were going and Delly about the Progesterone thread.  It is really spooky that seems soooo long ago now.

Yes, it’s weird to look back -probably best not to most of the time -I started the thread day after I was diagnosed .?

Hi ladies I just found this post, which pretty much sums up how I felt after diagnosis & wondered if it might be helpful for you ificouldtellyoujustonethingcouk.wordpress.com/2017/09/04/feelings-breast-cancer/ Good luck for your treatment. BB

Just read the link to the post which BB left and would encourage others to read it as it resonates complete understanding of the situation
So well written. … so true

That’s a really good account Bibi - sums it up well.

Yes Delly it was a great thread and a good meeting place for people who had just been diagnosed and we had some laughs too - I was hoping some people may just naturally take over the thread but didn’t happen .

I am just diagnosed but invasive ductal- now awaiting HER2 test results so they can decide what treatment to start with - feeling ok x just anxious about what’s to come x

Hi Jackie ,it’s very hard in the first few weeks when you reallly don’t know what you are dealing with and they are piecing together all your results - it does get easier -do you have a date for op /next appointment ?

Hey all,
Long time no speak. I have just had a notification.
Looking back at old posts. It’s been 3 years since diagnosis and I am not going to say it’s easy.
I am struggling with the new “normal”. I am on Tamoxifen and biophosphates they all have their own side effects.
The hardest bit it trying to loose weight so they will allow me to have my reconstruction. 3 1/2 stones is a lot when you are on lots of meds and the stress of life takes over.
Hope everyone is doing ok.

Hi Jackie,
I found the first few weeks the most challenging.
Once they determine your HER status they can put a plan in action.
If you are you get a treatment called Herceptin. It’s normally given 3 weekly for a year ( unless that changes). It’s not too bad.
The other thing was all the abbreviations but you get there in the end.
Take care xxx
