Hi @Renny2819. Well that sucks big time eh. I'm very sorry that you've found yourself in this situation, but everyone here understands, we've all been there, to a greater or lesser degree. You can let rip here with despair, fury and even the occasional absurdities of breast cancer.
Given that you're pregnant, I'm going to presume you're youngish! You might like to join the Young Women group here. Scroll down and find it in Groups.
If you'd like to, tell us a little bit about your cancer, what type, grade etc. You'll find people here who have the same and will be great answerers of any questions you may have.
There's no right or wrong way to feel about this rotten disease. My diagnosis knocked me for six emotionally (you can click on my name to read my story) and I am still struggling with it. Your situation is particulary poignant and my heart goes out to you. Have you had any counselling? Do you see a psychologist (I do) or talk to your breastcare nurse? The helpline number here is 1800 500 258.
Breathe and stay in the moment if you can. We're here for you. K xox
