Still in shock

It’s stories like these that give me strength and hope that all will be ok. Thanks for sharing xxx

Hope you're doing OK today @Jodles and having a good one. K xox

Its an overwhelming and daunting time. But I want to share...I'm a proud Aunt of a niece who had breast cancer a little younger than you, with 2 small children. Her baby just celebrated his 18th birthday and she remains cancer free 16 years on. Yes ...there is hope and successes.

Thank you. That’s my plan 😊

Sorry to see you here, @Jodles - Yes, it is always a big shock when first detected, let alone diagnosed ...... I had my surgery in Mid Jan this year, so am one year 'ahead of you' .... 

What I can say is - you WILL get thru this & we are here to help you do that.   Any question that you have - whack it up - no matter how trivial you may think it is - someone will jump on & reassure your, or suggest ways of dealing with it ....

Try and keep BUSY over Xmas & New Year (the best thing to do!) and then deal with the surgery in Jan!

Take care, thinking of you & the family xxx

Thank you and best wishes to you also. We are strong and we have got this! 💪🏻

Hi Jodles I too am very new to breast cancer diagnosis, 28th November. I am 66 and fortunately my lump is too small for my surgeon to feel. I have surgery on the 17th jan with radiation (at this stage until test come back) to begin asap. I wish you well and will be thinking of you and your family. Try and remember that you are young and strong. Look after yourself, be kind to yourself. I have never written on a forum until the other day but this seems like the support will be great in the future. We are very fortunate in this country to have such an amazing medical system with so many dedicated people who save lives every day by being diligent in what they do. Best wishes to you and your family.

We are all here for you ❤️

Thank you. The support on here is amazing! 💖🙏🏻

Hi Jodles, welcome to this forum you’re in a safe place here being able to ask any questions you may have.
There are so many wonderful people here that can help you through this journey I call it a roller coaster ride, as your emotions currently will be up and down which is normal.
When I was first diagnosed I couldn’t function and BCNA got me through, I can tell you that it gets easier as time goes on, one day at a time. Stay away from google as it’s not always correct.
Listen to your health team, ask if there is a breast cancer nurse in your local area, they are wonderful.
I myself was diagnosed with a triple negative breast cancer late October, I have just come home today from hospital after surgery.
The ladies that you speak with here on this forum have so much knowledge they can share with you, and knowing that you can talk to someone at anytime.
We are all here for you, some are at your early stages of diagnosis or just had surgery like me, and others are going through treatment and some are telling their stories life after cancer.
Its great to know that what you’re feeling is normal as we all have been there in the early stages.
Ask away any questions, and you will find that people will respond to you and help you through this together.
No question is a silly question 
Sending cyber hugs your way ❤️
