Hi all I was diagnosed with Early BC on 1 Aug and had my surgery last Friday 11 Aug. Am home now feeling sore, tired and still overwhelmed. Most of all I feel guilty that I can't look after my family...

@Dessi No question is silly on here. Getting diagnosed with cancer is a huge shock to the system, mentally and physically. It has only been two weeks since you were diagnosed so of course you are confused and probably feeling a bit lost. What do you feel like doing? Going out for coffee will help you feel a bit more normal, but only if you feel up to it. Getting out for a walk in the fresh air will help clear your head. Have a cry, a big long one. Do you have a breast care nurse? Ring her just for a chat. Ring the BCNA helpline just for a chat. They understand and will be able to help you navigate your way through this situation. Biopsy results take about fourteen days. I would be asking about a certificate for your income protection and get things started.
Mostly, look after you. Stop the guilt thing. You are worth more than that. Life has changed. Be gentle on yourself.
