A little overwhelmed
Hi,
This is my first blog as I have only recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I am a little overwhelmed as it has all happened so quick and I am not sure if I am armed with all the information ...
Hi Samantha, my name is Rachael & I like you was diagnosed young (I was 37) I'm now 12 months post diagnosis & I've had lumpectomy, chemo, rads & now tamoxifen for 5 years - as other ladies will also advise you - no matter what your treatment plan take it 1 day at a time & be kind to yourself - the anxiety & the unknown & roller coaster of emotions is normal - it does get easier, but you wont feel like it will at the moment
if you have a breast care nurse nearby communicate with them - they are a wonderful resource
Take care & look after yourself xxx
