Newly diagnosed

I've retyped this post so many times I wasn't sure what to say. I got my results today and I feel numb. I've been quite calm, not many tears, but I know it hasn't hit me yet. At this stage, it's early breast cancer but I meet with the surgeon tomorrow. We are new to where we live and apart from my husband and two young children, we have no family support nearby and haven't made many friends yet so feeling a little isolated, so I need to take advantage of any support I can get. Thank you.

  • Best wishes for tomorrow. You will have many questions, but there will be time to get them all answered, not necessarily at once. There are lots of people here who can help, advise and listen. Your medical team are there to guide and help. It will all seem a huge labyrinth of activity and confusion at first, but take it slowly, breathe deeply and things will become clearer. One step at a time, you can cover a huge amount of ground one step at a time! I am four and a half years from where you are now, well and getting on with my life. You can get through this. Take care.
