What to do?!!

Morning all! Yes should be sleeping but too much on my mind. Diagnosed approx 5 weeks ago with bc & after lots of tests, scans & angst had a lumpectomy & sentinel node biopsy last week. Great!! But no.... Need more surgery but now back to the decision of re-excision or mastectomy & to top it off found out 2 days ago am pregnant. Confused much?!

  • Hi Rach Congratulations, I will message you when I have my first one too!!

    Thanks so much for the info.  I have just recently been in touch with the nurse & OMG, she is amazing.  We are meeting up tomorrow to work out a "plan".  There is so much going on... my oldest daughter Samantha (27) has a genetic disease & has cancer AGAIN (3rd time for her) & I found out this on the same day as me.  I also have Isabella (4) she is adorable but full on & some days it just feels like a bit too much and now the unexpected pregnancy, (I'm 46!).  I do have some great friends who say I'm really strong etc, but that's on the outside lol!

    Keep up the good work :-)

  • Hello there I'm 38 & 12 months on Saturday is my first "cancerversary" you will have a lot of thoughts going through your head & anxiety - my advice would be to take one day at a time, have you spoken to a breast care nurse? They are truly wonderful & a great resource, whatever your treatment plan please know that you can do this & you are stronger than you ever imagined xxx Take care Rach xo
