Newly diagnosed less than 2 weeks - scared

Hi Kazzi

So sorry you have joined the BC club. It is such a shock at first!  I am 47 and am quite a newbie too.  I was diagnosed in Feb this year .  It has been a roller coaster ride with lots of waiting ... For appts and results and consultations.  I am now 5 weeks post op from a unilateral mastectomy and auxillary clearance and am about to start 6 months of chemo followed by hormone therapy and radiation therapy.  Reconstruction will be my prize at the end over a year down the track!

I would love to stay in touch with you.  Be kind to yourself and allow yourself to roll with whatever emotions come up.  I learnt to reach out to close friends and family when I felt I needed extra support.  I have also been blown away at the beautiful kind people that are out there.  I hope you find love, kindness and care around you also.  Sending kind thoughts your way that your surgery, pathology and treatment plan come together quickly so you can begin to see the plan ahead.  I'm learning the one day at a time thing as the others have said.  I've found it helpful to schedule some pleasant things in amongst the harder stuff, like meeting a friend for a coffee or walking by the beach to take a break from my whole world being about  BC.  Even if it's just a little breather here or there.  All the best Hun.
