New diagnosis

Hi everyone I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I was diagnosed just before xmas . Everything seems Very confusing as my diagnosis keeps changing! initially I started off with DCIS ( apparently the lucky cancer or so I was told) non invasive which has now progressed to include an invasive tumour. I have just had my second wide incision on Tuesday trying to get clear margins. Also there is now talk of chemo as my cancer is hormone negative. I have to wait till the 19th for my results. I think the waiting is one of the hardest aspects- of all of this! There is so much to learn its a bit overwhelming . I hope to maintain some level of fitness throughout my treatment if for no other reason than it makes me feel happier :)

  • Hi there Welcome to "the club". Sorry that you have become a member though. I had the same thing happen. It felt like every time I saw the doctor, things had changed again. I wonder if that is just the nature if the beast at first. And yes, the waiting is dreadful. It's good to plan ahead but be prepared that you will have to take things a day at a time particularly if you are having chemo. You will get lots of support and helpful tips on this site. Try to keep busy and good luck for the 19th. Hang in there. Karen xox
