Hello

Hello All, I was diagnosed with stage 2/3 breast cancer last Tuesday, seeking a local support group. Happy Easter! Cheers Sadna

  • Hello Rita, I hope that the shock of your recent diagnosis has started to sick in. We never think this is going to happen to us, it's so hard to comprehend. I was diagnosed just two days prior to you, with my final results on the Thursday. I have never hated public holidays so much and of course we now have just had another!! I met my surgeon on Thursday and I am really happy. I have a small procedure on Monday and then my big op on 13th May. Now I have dates to focus on I feel so much better. As good as you can knowing you have cancer. If you want to talk, I'm more than happy to chat. My thoughts go out to you, we will get through this, together. Best regards, Sadna xx
  • Thank you so much for your quick response.  And yes the mind is in overdrive with me telling myself "stop don't go down the path of negativity", at times more successful than others..  I really look forward to being active in this support group as I am the first in my family and friends to get this diagnosis.  So venturing into unchartered grounds.  And also the first time accessing online support/chats, with social benefits. Thanks, Rita

  • Hi Rita, waiting is the worst your brain goes into overdrive and you think the worst things, it's only natural it's a whole new thing, but grab it by the throat somehow bc brings out our strength , as Marion said be strong, but it's ok to cry, l had many a cries in the ensuite. Try and keep busy a lot of ladies go crazy and start cleaning, this seems a common thing! I hope we can be here for you . Regards adean
  • Hi to all,

    I was just diagnosed with breast cancer at 7pm on Thursday just before a long weekend.  Have sat with this for nearly 48 hours and feeling lost and helpless.  I just want Monday to roll on so I can find a breast surgeon and find out more.  The wait is terrifying me.

  • Hi Marion, Thank you for your kind words of encouragement, so many affected, yet journeys are quite different. I just want it out and get with the chemo etc...I'm not very good at sitting still :) meet my surgeon am so hoping he has some time frame in mind. I hope you are well and in good place. Hope to make it to your next catch up. Cheers Sadna
