Newly Diagnosed
Hi My name is Victoria, I'm 42 years old and I have been newly (well, 5.5 weeks ago) diagnosed with breast cancer. It is is located underneath the nipple on my left breast and it is invasive ductal ...
Hi Victy83, I've just joined the group too. I was diagnosed a few weeks ago, initially with Stage 0 DCiS. Surgery was a lumpectomy and couple of lymph nodes removed, as the surgeon suspected it might be more. I had not cried up until the surgery, since I felt relieved that it had been chopped out of my body. My emotions were quite raw after surgery, but my family have been very understanding.
Then they found a very small invasive tumour, which is triple negative. Then I cried and couldn't stop! I made the mistake of reading too much online, which completely stressed me out, so my advice would be to only use respected websites.
I hope your surgery and recovery is as easy as possible.
Take care,
Fee
