@Ildiko, Welcome to the forum and the most beautiful supportive ladies and gents. Please feel free to ask any question that you need information on as there are no silly questions. We are all at some stage of this roller-coaster and understand exactly where you are coming from.
Ildiko, with your diagnosis, have you had biopsies? Are you scheduled for surgery? It is a very fast paced, frightening phase when you are first diagnosed. Once you have your treatment plan in place it is a lot better and doesn't feel quite so out of control. Do you have a breast care nurse assigned to you yet? They are an invaluable source of information and comfort. Wishing you all the best and please use this site as a base for your information, if you need to vent, if you're feeling scared we all get it and are here for you. You are NOT alone in this. Xx Cath
