Hi @RJ 77
welcome to the club no one wants to join.
There is a lot of information on this website and a lot of support ( and information) on this forum.
Right now you will be in shock and disbelief but once your medical team has a plan for your treatment it will be a little easier.
Try and stay away from “ Dr Google” and bear in mind everyone will receive investigations and treatment targeted to their individual situation .
There are a number of podcasts on here I found very helpful - the one that dealt with the emotional/psychological impacts of a breast cancer diagnosis is by Charlotte Tottman “ What you don’t know until you do” . She is a psychologist who specialised in treating people with cancer related distress who was herself diagnosed with breast cancer .
Take care, and post any questions or thoughts on here , we all “ get it” in a way someone who has never received a breast cancer diagnosis can.
