Its all so new
I'v just been diagnosed with breast cancer. I'm not really sure how I feel. I found out because of an abnormality at my first screening mammogram. When they called me back to have more checks somehow...
Hi Paulan, the unknown can be so scary. This is a time when you don't know what to expect. Nadine is right, find out as much as you can about your diagnosis, to be armed with knowledge somehow helps to have a framework to hang your confusion on. Does that make any sense? In the early days my mind went wandering down so many "what if" pathways, but all you really have to deal with today is here and now. This is an awful thing to happen to any woman, but you are not alone. As much as its really sad to see so many women living with bc, it's also a huge encouragement to have those women share your experience like no one else can. We are here for you. I hope you can get some rest, amazing how we cope so much better with a good nights sleep, Tracey??
