It's all happening very fast....
My name is Sam. I am 45 years old and one week ago I was diagnosed with grade one lobular carcinoma in my right breast, a 12mm lump. I've been told I've caught it early, it's small and not aggressive...

Hi Kiama12,,
Go for it. Wine, chocolate, all the comfort food you like. You deserve it. Of course, what happens once treatment starts could be a different story. I don't know. I am only a week or two ahead of you in those stakes. After the surgeon dropped the bombshell on us, we went out to an Italian restaurant, ordered a meal along with a bottle of red and then a disgustingly rich dessert. When we got home we opened the ice cream. We all cope with things differently, so don't deny yourself just now. There's bound to be a lot of that down the track. I have only been a member here for a little over a week and I am already feeling a lot of support out there. I see my oncologist next week am scared stiff of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, but have now decided to stop reading everything I can about them. There are too many horror stories and none of them might happen to me, or you!. Don't get too far ahead of yourself. There's that old cliche, one step at a time. Hang in there, keep in touch on here and you'll get there in the end.
All the best and hugs
San-Dee
