Re: Just been diagnosed - scared..
Thanking you all for your comforting words. I seen the surgeon, and received positive news, though I’m still scared...the waiting game is a killer. I wish I could keep typing to update you with more but I am mentally drained and sooo exhausted. As I’m sure you all will understand. Love to each and every one of you.3Views3likes0CommentsRe: Just been diagnosed - scared..

I just joined a local support group which has really helped me. Is there one in your area ?6Views0likes0CommentsRe: Just been diagnosed - scared..
Afraser said: Welcome to the group no-one wants to join! But you are genuinely welcome and I hope you find it helpful. In a hurry to start is no bad thing, sooner started, sooner you can get to the end of treatment. But waiting is a frequent part of the process, so being prepared for that too may also help. Once you know what the next steps are, you have something real in all this confusion to focus on. If you have to be in this at all, grade 1 is a good start. But treatment varies because cancers vary widely. Don't hesitate to ask questions - with your surgeon, oncologist in due course, here. Take someone with you for important discussions, at least at first - shock, anger are natural reactions but not the best state of mind to be taking careful notes or remembering queries. Take things one at a time if you can, don't expend energy on things that may never happen. Remember that the longest journey can be achieved one step at a time. You are already on your way! Best wishes. Thank you AFraser. Your words are comforting. It’s just so overwhelming having to digest everything. Will keep you posted.2Views1like0CommentsRe: Just been diagnosed - scared..

You hear of this daily, but when it hits home, my gosh, your whole world feels dark! I have just been diagnosed with breast cancer and am shocked scared angry. I feel violated. Have lots of support but still feel lonely. Horrible horrible feeling. Grade 1. Seeing my breast surgeon on Wednesday and am so so worried and scared. I just want to hurry along and get the process started. Love to you all going through this...811Views0likes26Comments
