Just diagnosed

I am so sorry that you have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I was diagnosed with an invasive ductal carcinoma in May this year and am now finished treatment and am doing and feeling very well. Mine was ER and PR positive HER2 negative. I am now on tamoxifen which is very effective at preventing recurrences of hormone positive cancers. Try not to worry too much about the little wait for surgery. Most people have a couple of weeks between diagnosis and the next step. We all just want it gone once you know about it, but really a few days will not make a difference. The good thing is it has been found and you can now have treatment, which is very effective these days. Have you ordered your My Journey Kit from BCNA? You can do this by clicking on the tab at the bottom of this page. It is full of useful info which will help you understand the treatment that your doctors will recommend for you. Try to keep busy and prepare for treatment in practical ways. Once you know more about what surgery and treatment you will be having you can find lots of great practical advice on here. The waiting is the worst. You will feel so much better once some action is underway. Sending you lots of good wishes and hoping things move quickly once you see the surgeon. Take care. Deanne xxxxoooo
