My partner was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 weeks ago on Wednesday she had a left breast mastectomy. Look for advice on caring and being there for her we are devastated at present
Adlaws Glad you have reached out to Breast Cancer Now, please do use the number on here and speak to someone too about things you can do for your partner snd yourselves because a diagnosis impacts everyone. Still treat them like them, no head tilting on one side or pity look in your eyes, listen to them, they will be trying to protect you as much as you are trying to protect them. Still enjoy life and do the things you always did, not let it take your joy, you are both still alive, grab it and go at your partners pace, but also if they need a bit of time it is not withdrawing it’s just as the one going through bc it is like being on spin cycle in a washing machine and you can feel out of control, but as the journey goes on you grab control and remember decisions are yours. A good thing to look forward on these threads is mountain lion by strawberry blonde in hope and inspiration bit Breast Cancer Now is here for everyone 
others will be along and share with you to try and help
