Getting My Results
I have woken today just a little anxious, after a couple of weeks where i have mostly successfully managed to push thoughts away I get the results of my genetic testing. I have been very fortunate that they have rushed these through as my treatment is dependant on the results. So today I will have a good idea of which…

Hi :) I joined today because I have only just been diagnosed with breast cancer and feeling very anxious....also because it is my birthday today! That fact just made me cry for most of today. I am fast realising how incredibly overwhelming the information is to take in, and the 'well meaning' support of friends and family…

Hi, I have been diagnosed with DCIS for a couple of weeks now but not sure if I am okay or not. A bit confusing I know. When I was told which was over the phone I just said "ok" dr said "no,it's not ok" I said "yes it is I will be fine" I feel I am not sick enough or not important enough to have people worried about me. I…

New gal on the block!
I have just joined BCNA today even though I was first diagnosed in early September. I was originally diagnosed with DCIS but after the first surgery it was discovered that the BC wasn't actually "in situ" so on 23/11 went back in to have more breast conserving surgery along with a biopsy of the sentinel node. I was given a…

I have breast cancer
My breast cancer was discovered on the 10th of may 2012, and since then I've cried, I've reached out to friend via face book and the feedback has been overwhelming. But to say those words "I have breast cancer" have to be whispered because I don't want to upset my kids. They are all boys 11, 8 and 6. I need to be brave and…

I had an operation to remove the lump and one lymph node. everything seemed positive, the lump was small, no history in the family and I found it myself. The lymph node came back positive to everyone surprise, so my surgeon arranged for a second operation to…
