So sorry to hear about your bc diagnosis but welcome to this network.Yes, you certainly have covered every emotion in those 2 days but this is totally normal. The unknown and the waiting are the 2 worst parts of this crap journey.Once you know what you are dealing with you can then psyche yourself up and face it head on. I've had breast cancer twice - first time in 2003 and then again in the same breast in 2010.I've done alot of reading/research, soul searching and questioning.My conclusion is that bc is random and often happens to the nicest of people so don't blame yourself in any way or it will do your head in. I've been happy and sort of healthy since my last bc and am enjoying life more. It is a dark tunnel you are entering but there is light at the end of it. Stay in touch and let us know how you are going.We know what you are going through and what an anxious time this is for you.You will get lots of support here on this network from women in the midst of treatment or out the other end like me.
