I am in shock

Hi @Coco65 welcome, I am very new to this "club" too. Both my sister and I have been diagnosed this year but our journeys are quite different but we can relate to each other. I have 4 daughters and am worried for them. My Mum had bc too. I'm relatively early on in my treatment, had a partial 3 weeks ago, they found another mass that they didn't know was there when the pathology came back, going for an extra excision next week with sentinel node biopsy then if that's clear 5 weeks of radiotherapy. I don't have much advice to give you as I'm quite early in the process myself but you can only take one step at a time and deal with each new situation as it comes along. Good luck and keep talking xxoo

Hi coco
I'll start by saying sorry you have to be here but now that you are take a breath, I am 18 days post mastectomy. I found a lump after I received a sharp pain in my right breast on 23rd April  , 24 th biopsy, 2nd may  meeting with breast surgeon, 3rd ct and bone scan, 9th back to surgeon, 16 more tests , 17th mastectomy, 18th another surgery due to a haematoma in my chest  and back home on the 20. That has been my journey so far. 
With that said it is hard to get the news that you have breast cancer, it's scary! . Take each step at a time, just say to your self " right I'm here my next step is a biopsy " don't try and look into the future and think what if? That has been the best advise that I have gotten from the wonderful women on this site .
The other advice that I have gotten and will give to you is , be selfish let people know when you don't want to talk and when you do,when to visit and when to leave you alone, take the time for you and your family to process each bit of information you are given and remember each and every women on this site will be there for you any time you need advice or an ear for you to voice your concerns. 
Best wishes and keep breathing deep calming breaths you are not alone ❤️❤️❤️❤️

See Jo!? I love what @Nikkid did, and it was perfectly OK to do that! so its great hearing the different approaches! helps ease your mind too that waiting is absolutely fine. x M

@nikkid  thank you! That puts it in perspective. xx

@melclarity
Thank you! You really have helped me today

@Coco65 when I was diagnosed my first question to the surgeon was 'can I have 10 weeks before we operate'? There were lots of things I had to do (I have my own business) and commitments I had in place. Because it was early and the biopsy indicated it was slow growing, the surgeon agreed - and I was put on Tamoxifen in the meantime. This gave me 'mind space', time to research (I got a second opinion just for peace of mind) and the ability to get myself back in control. The surgeon actually said to me during one visit "I get it Nikki, YOU have to get in control of this cancer." So I had time. Of course, if the surgeon had said 'no" because it was aggressive or dangerous to wait, I would've done what I was told. 

I'm just telling you this because there isn't always a need to rush in. Everyone is different, everyone's cancer is different - but in my case, I needed the time and don't regret it at all. 

So 1.5 weeks may not be a problem for you seeing as it's so early xxxxx
