Newly Diagnosed
Hi there... Well the last 6 weeks have been a bit of a ride .... microcalcifications on mammogram, biopsy, and then surgery to take a larger sample for a more definitive diagnosis to my diagnosis yes...
Sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with BC but like Deanne and Tonya welcome you to this wonderful site. Receiving your diagnosis and waiting for your treatment plan is the most stressful time of this journey and of course your head is racing. Once you have your treatment plan you will feel less anxious and over time you will settle into the journey. I have a week ago finished my last chemo treatment and looking back can honestly tell you it is doable. You will have good days and some not so good but if you face it head on you will come to a place of acceptance. Be very kind to yourself. This is the time to put yourself first. I have found walking each morning for 45 -60 mins helps with fatigue, meditation every afternoon destresses and gives me extra energy for the rest of the day. Seek phychological help if you suffer from anxiety as it is hard enough to cope without dealing with depression/anxiety too.
Keep coming back here and ask as many questions as you need and to off load your troubles.
Big hugs to you.
