Welcome New Members - 8th November 2024

Breast cancer awareness month seems to work.  Hi all.  I was diagnosed about a month ago.  Op scheduled for 28th.  It’s a diffuse type of tumour and hard to define but I’ve been told my prognosis is good and it’s Stage 1 when mucinous carcinomas are often not caught until Stage 3.  Could be a lumpectomy but might be a mastectomy so I’m preparing for that.  My learning so far is to ask for information and help.  BCNA helpline really helped me.  So thank you BCNA for my first two decent nights sleep since this started.  The panic, the confusion, the overwhelm - it’s all normal.  Sisterly love to anyone going through this.  You can, we can.  I know I can.  Faced lots of health challenges, which are adding to the complexity of this,  but none has seen me give up yet, fallen in a few deep holes but climbed my way out of them.  70 and planning a couple more decades.
