New Diagnosis
Hi I am Mandy and I was given the diagnosis of Breast Cancer yesterday afternoon. I am 44 and have two children 17 and 13.
The lump was found on routine mammogram and confirmed as Invasive Ductal ...
Hi Mandy
You have defo found the best site for love & heaps of support from our connectedness!
Janey is fab.....one day at a time!
I was diagnosed with same type as you end of September....3.8cm invasive dcis....no lymph node involvement...had mastectomy (small boob!) & had first round of chemo last week (Robyn is 3 weeks ahead of me!)
I have 2 young children & when they told me I had invasive BC I thought my life was over! How could my children grow up with no Mum?
2 days after my diagnosis my own beautiful Mum passed away (not from cancer)...I felt my world had caved in!
This wonderful site has helped me deal with so many issues.....& I know it will be a great source of help for you too Mandy.
Wishing you the best...Jenny x
