You can get through this Rach!
I am new to this and thought it may help me get through the tough time ahead of me....
It has been a week since my routine check up, biopsy and being told I have lobular carcinoma. I have always been conscience of breast cancer as both my Nanna's had it. One had a masectomy and the other unfortunately died from the disease, when I was very young.
My Hubby and I are keeping positive and I am finding it difficult that my Family and Friends are upset for us and were quite emotional when we told them. But, it is nice to know we are very much loved by them. We have cried about it, especially when we were told as we are trying to start a family.
This year has proven to be a very difficult one, so far. In January, we were told we were pregnant and in Feb (Valentines Day) we were told at the dating scan that our Little Angel had no heartbeat. Easter came and so did the death of my Grandfather. My Nan passed away 4yrs ago and my Mum hasn't been the same since, so you can imagine what grief she went through with the loss of her Father.
So, the past 3 months have been busy trying to get back on track and try again for baby #1. When I was diagnosed last week, all I could think of was, oh no what if we are pregnant this month..... I had a blood test and it came back negative for pregnancy. So, that has been taken care of for us, 1 less thing we have to deal with.
Tomorrow, we have our first appointment with the Specialist and hopefully we will have a plan for our next move in this journey.
One Day at a Time.

What a tough year this is for u... well they say bad things happen in 3's, lol... thru this u will need to keep a sense of humour & u will need to cry & vent - thank god u have found this website! Its a godsent!
Keep us updated on your news from the specialist...
I can imagine what your going thru, with just wanting to start a family. I was married 4 months when I got diagnosed & looking forward to that part of our lives together. Luckily we can get over this hurdle and try again in 2 yrs. Some people do have to wait longer, & some can never have kids depending on treatments. Hopefully you are blessed like we were & if ur not heaps of ladies on here to help you thru it. I believe everything happens for a reason (I'm not religious lol this post makes me sound like it, but I have faith, if that makes sense) Everyone can believe in what they want - this is just my way of coping. Hope u find a way to cope too.. So many women, too many women have unfortunetly been in your shoes & with your family history you are aware of the good & the bad... But take each moment at a time... enjoy the times u feel good & rest when your body tells you to.
Also find a breast care nurse (if u havent already), a local support group & a breast cancer councillor. When u are having your bad moments & u will
they are great help!!!! If u need me feel free to messsage me anytime, I'm online alot lol...
hope I helped!

What a terrible year for you.Sometimes life throws a lot of bad stuff at you all at once.You begin to worry about waking up the next day for fear of what next. You seem way too young to have to deal with breast cancer but more and more young women are coming onto this site - very sad.I've had breast cancer twice in the same breast -1st time I was 47yrs and 2nd time(last year)Iwas 55yrs. I've had ALL the treatments except reconstruction.In the "cancer world"you become grateful about all sorts of things.I am so glad I got to have kids and see them grow up and that my cancer hadn't spread.I think it would be alot harder to deal with it as a young woman.Just try and take it in bit by bit because to look at the whole picture and all the "what ifs" will do your head in.There are lots of nice ladies on this site,always someone to chat to,so jump back on whenever you need support or want to talk.
