Just been diagnosed just getting to grips with terminology. Just getting with grips with this web site. Had a DCIS in 2009 completely fell apart, and didn’t want to know anything then. That was the left breast.
Now diagnosed with a lump in the right breast Grade 1. Operation due 1st July. Just cannot believe I here again. Can’t stop the tears, but I am really trying to be brave.
You all seem very nice.
If I don’t respond straightaway, it means I have got lost on the site, again

Maseo- you sound like me back in November, except that because of my age and type of tumour an early op was not necessary. I wish I had discovered this forum back then, though! Facing Christmas and family birthdays with a diagnosis was hard work. You will find little communities within the Community- for example, if you have chemo there will probably be a group of you all starting at the same time. Don’t be shy about subscribing to posts (click on the lower right hand side of the fist post in a thread) or bookmarking. Good luck!
Hello Penny47
Thank you for responding. Its strange to say it, but you guys make me feel that I am not alone in this - which I am beginning to believe is half the battle. Have had a shower washed my hair and I am going to face the day anew.
Feeling tired though, things still flying around my head 
Maseo-Oh, and another thing…you will read this again on these threads…Don’t Google your symptoms! Keep to BCC and Macmillan! There is a wealth of experience and knowledge here and it’s hands on and up to date! Enjoy your day!
Welcome honey always available for a chat stay strong!!
Hello Maseo - you’re definitely not alone! Sorry you’re having to go through all the trauma again.
You’re doing the right thing by trying to do normal things, keeping busy and pampering yourself. I found it very tiring initially but once I got started on treatment I found a sort of calm - although I did find sleep evaded me and I would trawl the Forum through the wee small hours.
Best of luck and keep chatting here.

Loobyb thank you for your encouragement - I am trying and crying, more trying.
Thanks for your kinds words.
Hi All
Have finally got my head out of the shed and am back at work, its helping, although feel exhausted but at least I managed more than one hours sleep last night. Operation 1st July staying positve.

Hi Maseo
I was diagnosed 10/6 with dcis. I also have my op on 1st July. I am having a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction & SNB.
Will be thinking of you on the 1st xxx
Hi Maseo
Stay strong and positive, easier said than done i know. You will get through, so many of us here going through the same xx
Very tired today couldn’t go to work, stress probably catching up with me. The waiting for the operation is not good - everything going round and round.
Got pre-op assessment tomorrow. Then I am going out to buy my grandson’s birthday present, he will be two on the 29th June. Must focus on him - he’s such a little sweetie. Loves In the Night Garden.
I’m such a silly moo, tiny steps Georgina, tiny steps.
I, too, was diagnosed with DCIS (in both breasts) on 14th May and am still waiting for surgery which, again, is due on 1st July. It seems to be taking forever! I’m having breast reductions at the same time, and in some ways am more anxious about that than the cancers (which are both very small). I’m also very tired, which seems strange since I’m not actually ‘ill’, and for the last couple of days have had dreadful back-ache, which I’m putting down to anxiety.
I’m confident (most of the time) that all will be well, but sometimes it just gets too much!
Hi All
Okay still at work, getting upset, got even more upset when someone mentioned putting a temp in my place. What a silly moo.
Anyway need the 1st to come and go. Then I will know exactly what I am up against.
What a nightmare. OH is brilliant, but I can tell its wearing him down.
Georgina.
Hi Karey-Sue
Not sure whether you are home, but just to say, I had my op on Monday, most awful day, shoved from one place to another, finally had my operation at 19:00 did make sure the surgeon was still awake OH took me home around 22:00 I was determined to go home. This did seem to upset another lady, so she too was determined to pee and walk and talk to show that she was okay as well. I do think the nursing staff were happy to see me go ha ha.
Was depressed yesterday, I now have another wait for results on SNB - next appointment 12 July. Not sure on how to keep busy, can’t lift or drive for a least a week or so. Will try walking.
Hope all is well with you.
Georgina.
Hi first time here… Totally shattered and although trying not to show it at home, not coping too well at moment, it all seems so daunting. Had 2ops one wli one axillary clearance because 2nodes were affected, just got my head around having to have chemo,but now have to wait for results of a shed load of scans and tests before it all starts, sorry to whinge . This site looks like the place where a lot of strong ladies are… Just hope some of it rubs off on me
Hi Pollyanne
I know what you mean about not coping, I feel like I have a whole dam of tears, and if I let one fall there will be a whole flood. Feeling very very sorry for myself just now. AAAAArgh just can’t believe I am in this bloody nightmare again! Why thats what I want to know why why why why why…
Sorry.
Georgina.
Hi Georgina

Dx again May this year WLE in June and waiting SNB 17th July as it is exactly the same again grade 3 TN and then another 2 week wait for results!!! I keep thinking why me!! Struggling to get my head round it really cant believe it is back so soon! Have been told will probably need chemo and rads again soooooo not what I wanted to hear.
Good luck to eveyone with results and hopefully all good news for everyone

I can so relate to how your feeling Georgina been thru all the “why’s” myself I think we try to find a reason, there isn’t one , so… Try thinking of this another way, we are getting the chance to fight this crappy thing, many people don’t get that chance my mum died of a massive heart attack when she was 52 my dad of same thing at 58 they didn’t get a chance at trying to beat it, I know it’s scant comfort but I’m trying so hard to stay positive ( not always succeeding I might add lol )
