Hello @Sweetsomethings. So sorry to meet you here, but here we all are. I was diagnosed in early December, also Stage 1, and had all those feelings you described. Firstly I was so angry, and after a few weeks, floods of tears. It gets easier as the treatment plan takes shape and commences. I have felt very isolated too. Get your friends round you, they'll want to help. Talk to your breast care nurse; do you have one yet? There's also the BCNA helpline, great for support and a kindly ear 1800 500 258.
I'm struggling mentally too, and am taking advantage of all the help I can get. It's a rollercoaster. You'll have good days and bad days.
And there's always always us here on this forum, no question too silly, small or whingey. Rant and vent away. We've got you! K xox
