Hi Tripple,
sorry you have to join us but welcome.
everything seems overwhelming when you first find out.
Nodes, grade, stage, size, tumour aggressive,
its impossible to entertain all at once.
I managed to keep my balance by rationing the time I spent on quality research, once a day for 1/2 an hour (never Dr Google and never in the night before sleep), then moved onto simple pleasures, researching where I'll travel when I'm done with all the chemo and surgeries etc..
easier said than done, I know, but it becomes a real discipline you can be proud of..
Try not to think too far ahead, just one thing at a time.
So far I've passed the mastectomy stage, 2/3rds of the way through chemo, and heading towards a second preventative mastectomy and reconstruction.
5 months ago, I couldn't imagine making It to this point without being in a heap but you will get there.
Right now, l'm looking at the line you typed .... 'but all other scans and tests show no other cancer' and I'm thinking that this is the positive to hang on to while you slow your mind and take a breath.
There are so many great women on here.
Jump on when you need them all.
Sending you hugs and warrior strength.
A. xx
