Just diagnosed

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this.... breast cancer and posting!

Having read other posts it has encouraged me to do this and reach out to others, and maybe even be able to help others.

I was diagnosed with early breast cancer on the 12th March 2014, I had a mastecotomy on the 25th March and am now about to go down the path of chemotherapy, FEC 100 for 6 cycles and hormones as well.

It has all happened very quickly and still reeling from it, but there are a lot of positives, caught early, no lymph nodes involved and had clear boundaries. The hardest thing for me is I lost my partner almost 12 months ago and trying to deal with this without him is sooo hard.

I am lucky to have a wonderful group of family and friends, but not having my special rock is terrifying, he was always there for me, no matter what. 

Wishing everyone the very best with their own journeys.
