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 there Paulan,
welcome to the forum but sorry you've had to join us. The next few weeks will be difficult as you will not know what you are dealing with entirely and it really is a roller coaster ride. You really don't know for sure what you are dealing with until you've had your pathology results from surgery. I have no other hints to add as the other girls have pretty much covered it. Definitely take someone with you to appointments and take one day/appointment at a time. Speak to your gp in regards to your depression and the not sleeping. Many have suffered depression before, during and/ or after breast cancer so your specialists will be well equipped to help on that front. Try to change your thinking around to thank goodness they have found it so now I can do something about it! Hang in the. You will get through this and we will all be here to help support you. Take care. Karen xox
