Feeling very scared
Diagnosed yesterday with breast cancer, clustering & lateral which terrifies me - medical terms are frightening when you don't understand them. See surgeon for consult next week 1.5cm lump & surgery ...

Hi Rachael,
It is normal to be scared. Cancer is a very scary thing and not knowing what is going to happen is also very scary.
I think it is also normal that they don't know all the details yet from the biopsy. They will know more after they do the surgery.
There are some good guidebooks which help you learn about all the medical terms. I had a breast care nurse who gave me a book I really liked.
Just try to take it one step at a time. There will be people here to support you all the way.
Best Wishes
