Breast Cancer Now Forum

Hi Basia I can relate to exactly how you feel, as can the rest of the lovely ladies on here. I was diagnosed with BC on the 18th April after a routine mammogram. I have never felt as scared and alone even though I have fantastic friends and family. I posted on this forum and the positive messages from ladies who were going through the same as me made me feel so much stronger and more positive. And although I haven't posted since I log on daily and feel so comforted by everyone.

That's exactly what's happening with me, ringing me Friday afternoon with a surgery date. And I'm also scared that I will always worry about it coming back. But as the nurse told me today take it one day at a time xx ... View more
