Great advice above for you however your fear and loneliness is not something that I can give you a solution to.  May be you should reach out the counselling line for some coping mechanisms

Hi thanks. I feel the same no one to give me a hug at night and 8n the morning when im alone with my thoughts and not knowing exactly whats in store and terrified of the treatment. Ive developed a phobia of needles aleady so.im in trouble lol

You are not a burden here, it is probably the best decision I made joining this forum. 
You get good advice from those who know what you are going through.
I was officially diagnosed 4th December but I found my large lump at the end of October and I instinctively knew it was not good. 
I waited a week to get into my GP, it's a busy clinic but I wanted to see my usual GP because I love & trust him. 
Then I had to wait another week for the Mammogram, ultrasound, called back within 2 days by my GP with results "most likely cancer" and three areas of concern. 
I waited 3 weeks from "urgent"  referral to get in to the public health sysytem.. their PDF says within a week for urgent, I had to call a couple of times and in the end my GP rang and I had an appointment the next day.....it was a good month of limbo land and it sucked and I was frustrated.
Once I was in the system though, it has been full on every day, you are dealing with so much new information.  Crikey the drug names are enough to do my head in. 
Be kind to yourself and ask all the questions you want, being alone must be very hard, we are all here for you. :) xx

Only diagnosed Wednesday? You are still in shock then. It took me a good fortnight to even come to terms with it at all. Having a good general doctor is a must. I really didn't and it has taken me 3 years to find a good one but I did initially have a McGrath breast nurse who answered a lot of my first questions as I knew absolutely nothing about breast cancer at the time. 
At least crying is letting your feelings out and that's got to be a positive. Be honest with your employer when you have an idea of what treatments and possible time off you may need. All you can do is do your best and muddle through like the rest of us. Be a survivor. <3

Megs04...I too am on my own...I have adult children...I can't say I know what you are going through...I don't walk in your shoes but i too ...and I'm sure everyone here often goes to bed thinking about what the future brings...we play these movies in our overactive brain...scenarios ....never good ones....I wake up in the morning and it starts again we have no one to turn over to and talk to...no one to just put their arm around you and say itll be ok....I try to keep busy .... catching up with friends...gardening..Walks with my dogs..but daily it pops back ... when I'm at work i have girls that ask me how I'm going and it gives me the chance to offload...but when I'm on my own....I too get sad and fearful...the ones i really want to talk to and give me a hug are my children....but i can't....i don't want them to know my fears...It is normal that you are feeling like this...its a very scary thing....I was diagnosed in Aug this year with IDC Stage 1 I've had 2 lumpectomies since ...just been called in to drain a seroma to get things sorted for my radiotherapy on 3rd jan.....funny but there are times I feel guilty for feeling the way i feel....I should be grateful...when there are so many girls (and guys) that are so much younger than me with ca much more advanced. I tell myself I'm 60 next year if I get 10 yrs out of this il be happy...and ofcourse if this ca is cured then there is no reason that i won't.....BUT... that little voice pops up and says "hey michele don't trust it...it could already be growing somewhere else"  
Anyway I hope you get through Christmas with this...i think its even harder this time if year....keep chatting to us girls....you may find your fears are just like ours....welcome to the club xxx

Thanks Sarnicad. 

@Megs04 this bit, the waiting bit, is the worst. You doubt everything, you feel like you’re out of control - because you are, it’s all a mess. That said it does get better. It will get better when the detailed results start to come in and your medical team start to form a plan for you. The plan leads to control - I found it gave me a little bit of peace of mind well that and a couple of visits with my psychologist and 7 months in to this wicked disease I’m in a much better place

get on here vent scream rant there’s usually someone around to talk with and all the peeps are the best so many wise ones who have guided me so far and they are all just brilliant

Hi Megs04,Firstly you are not a burden, you are welcomed here with open arms, sending big cyber hugs your way ❤️
Im so glad you have found us here at this forum.
I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer late October of this year.
I hear what you’re saying, the emotions that are running through your body, totally in shock unable to stop crying, the anxiety is through the roof feeling other people’s emotions, this is normal,what you are feeling.
One thing I can tell you it does get easier, hang in there, take it one day at a time.
Have you got a good GP, see if you can get something to help,you sleep, you’re able to deal with things a lot better once you have a good night sleep. The days will get better, you will cry less and kick into fight mode.
Everything gets better once you have a plan in place and the process starts, and you speak to these lovely ladies on this forum.
Remember you are not alone we are all here to help,you through this journey, some of us are at the start, some of us are a few weeks ahead, some are a lot further ahead and some have been cancer free for years.
Be kind to yourself, remember one day at a time.
I find meditation helps me in dealing with the waiting for results.
Deep breaths we can do this ❤️
You haven’t mentioned what city you live in as there maybe be someone close to you that can give you information in your area regarding a breast cancer nurse, psychologist etc.
We are all here for you.
Hugs and kisses xx
 Carol
