Recently diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer and feeling a little nervous.

I found a lump in my breast at the beginning of Feb and went to the Dr thinking it was probably just a cyst but unfortunately it turned out to be cancer. I've spoken to the Specialist had a PET Scan and a breast tissue mark clip insertion as I'll be having chemo first and am seeing the oncologist on Monday but I'm just a bit scared I guess and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing and just really wanted to connect with others that have been through or are going through the same thing as I am.

    I have been trying to take it one day at a time but I was very overwhelmed yesterday. I am feeling better today though.

    Hello @Belleindy
    Very sorry to hear of your diagnosis. It’s a terrifying time for sure. This is a good place to come for support and advice as we’ve all gone through different types of the big c, and know what you’re going through. These feelings of fear and anxiety are normal. You need to let them process. Just make sure you take it a step at a time, as it does get pretty overwhelming. Try to focus on what’s happening in the moment, and go easy on yourself. 
    Good luck with chemo 🍀♥️
