Hi @Luli
Being in shock is very normal - when I received my diagnosis I had an “ out of body” experience where I was actually looking down on myself and the Dr.
I sleep like a log ( small mercies!) and for a number of days I would wake in the morning and it would take me a few moments to remember things were not as I before and yes I DID indeed have breast cancer.
The waiting is hard but the medical team have a process and when they have gone through it they will have a plan.You will feel a bit more settled then.
My tumour was ER and PR positive, grade 2 with a low ki67 but was quite large ( initially thought 4.5 cm turned out to be 5.5cm).
I had E cup breasts , dense as well , my breast cancer surgeon initially talked about a choice of lumpectomy and mastectomy but when the size of the tumour was revealed he strongly recommended a mastectomy.
I was lucky nothing in my lymph nodes but decided on a double mastectomy for a number of reasons - it’s a very personal decision.
I followed all the advice of my medical team and am as happy as I can be in the circumstances.
Not everyone has bad side effects from the hormone therapy and I am grateful there is a drug that can help prevent a recurrence.
Try and take it on day at a time, avoid “ Dr Google” and have a look around this website there are a lot of great resources on here.
Take care🌺
