@Joarden,
Truly sux to be here but welcome lovely.
There is no one who can understand what you are feeling unless they have been there themselves. The beginning is such an overwhelming shock.
If you don't want to tell anyone don't. You will be bombarded with questions you have no answers to yet. It may be easier after the surgical apt and you have a plan of attack.
Waiting for the staging scans are horrific. I made my husband ring and get the results as I just couldn't do it.
Your brain will absolutely conjure up every worst case it can think of and you will Dr Google far too much. We are all guilty of it,
Some of the others will jump on with advice on how to deal with younger children through this. Mine were all 17-21 so while still difficult, they understood more I guess.
I found mine in the nodes first (there were 5 with nasties) so surgery, chemo, rads, hormone therapy.
It's easy to get swept along in this shit fight. If you don't understand something make sure you keep asking until you do.
Do have a breast care nurse allocated yet?
Try to keep breathing lovely. We get it.
