Hi @Emma1113 - as @Cath62 has already said - what a shock for you. It is great that you've 'found us', for added support (as well as from your family & friends xx.)
Have you had a biopsy yet & been advised of the 'type' of BC?
BCNA Moderators have put up a couple of posts re pregnant women diagnosed with cancer .... so definitely consider ringing the helpline on 1800 500 258 (Mon-Fri, 9-5) for a chat.
There was an article in 2023 in 'My Journey' that you might like to read - it relates to pregnant women with 'early' BC ... As the article says .... Your obstetric and oncology team should include health professionals with experience in caring for women diagnosed with cancer while pregnant. They can help you to make the best choices for you and your baby.

Take care, take one day at a time, one hour if needs be ... try not to get ahead of yourself with the 'what ifs' ... as they may never happen xx. (And stay away from Dr Google! A lot of the info may be out of date or not relevant to your own diagnosis. Put your trust in your medical team - they will be planning the best possible outcome for you and your baby xx)
