I'm really really scared
I received a diagnosis of grade 3 triple negative breast cancer yesterday and I'm petrified.
Seeing a consultant tomorrow - I don't really know what to expect.
I have 2 small children, this is such a shock.

Thank you so so much! It is the unknown, it terrifies me. So I'm trying to focus only on that things I DO know. It's only been a few days but it's helping me so far. I have a long road ahead. I hope all is going very well for you and I'm so grateful for your message x

Thank you so much Jen. I have the most amazing support already but you've hit the nail on the head with the word 'lonely'. It's so lonely knowing that out of all the people I know, I'm the only one physically going through it. It's so reassuring to know you're all here for me too and I hope so much to be a good support in return. x

Thank you so so much Nat! I went for my app today and took my husband, the consultant was amazing and broke it all down for me. I'm still scared like crazy but I feel more in control and more positive. Do you mind me asking what stage of treatment you're at? x

Hi Mimmy, welcome to the network. That's such a shock when you get your diagnosis. Do you have friends and family who can support you during your treatment ? It's good to have people who can take you to appointments and treatments, as a support. I hope that you know soon what your treatment plan is so that you know what you need to do. Sending you a big cuddle, Trace ??????

Hi Mimmy welcome to the site, reading your blog reminded me about that same feeling I had 18 months ago. Try and take it one day at a time once you see the docs and they set you on a plan you might feel better, the unkown is always scary.
Take any help offered to you especially help with your kids. Take a deep breathe sending you a hugx
