Just diagnosed

Hi I'm in Brisbane and was just diagnosed on Friday 9th Nov. I had an indent in my right breast which my partner noticed ages ago and I just ignored it (I know, I know I'm stupid). So I have to have chemo first to shrink the lump as it's too big and my boob is small. It's all too much for me right now I wish it would just all go away.

    Welcome @Sweetpetal.  There's no point looking backwards - you're doing what you need to now. It's very overwhelming at diagnosis.  I won't say you'll get used to it but you will find it easier in some ways when treatment starts and you know that you're dealing with it.  You'll find lots of support, info and the odd laugh here.
