    How are you going ? 
    it is always a shock when we are diagnosed but once you have your plan in place for treatment it becomes less stressful.

  • Still in the shock and disbelief stages then. Be thankful that it is diagnosed now and something can be done about it. You will get through it all. Take it day by day. <3

  • hi Sweetpetal, I am sorry you have been diagnossed but I know this is a great forum with good supports and information available to you. 

    Here is some links 

    Below are a couple of links to help you find your way around the forum and also how to find a breast care nurse and how to order a MY journey Kit if you haven't got one yet. 

    It can be a whirlwind when we first get a diagnosed.... Breathe and take it one step at a time.
