Have received copy of letter sent to Dr today which describes what my biopsy has found, it all sounds so all awful when you see it in print and I’m really struggling to cope today, would really appreciate some much valued support from all you lovely ladies going through the same emotions right now xx
Hi, I am also recently diagnosed and have found reading copies of letters sent to GP make me feel so sick/panicked/hyperventilate/terrified. I think I am still in denial and seeing it in print makes it all too real! I resolve not to read the next one until I’m feeling stronger but then it drops through the door and I open it. At this stage I just feel I need to do as advised by team - not looking for too much information, trust they know what they’re doing. I have started treatment with Zoladex and letrozole to reduce tumour prior to surgery - I have not experienced any side effects which adds to the feeling of unreality, life is carrying on as usual on one level and yet everything has changed. Most days I feel fine but I have had several meltdowns in this past week. I am keen to get on with what I perceive to be more active treatment - feeling in limbo at the moment.
I hope your treatment plan will help you come to terms with your situation, just take it step by step.
