Hi everyone my name is Sonia I am 58 and I have just been diagnosed with breast cancer. I have seen my surgeon last week and he has sent me for 3D mammogram, ultrasound and a biopsy of my lymph nodes...

Hi Sonia,
Sorry you have had to join us, but you have come to the right place!
Good advice so far...Early in diagnosis is the scariest I think, it's the unknowns, the what if's...then comes the treatment plan and you're back to the unknowns and what if's! It really is a roller coaster of emotions.
I have described it as being thrown into a blender and being told to hang on! Your brain automatically shrouds you in a "protective fog", so you can cope with all of the information being given to you....
Try not to think too far ahead. Take one day at a time, one appointment at a time, be kind to yourself write questions to ask down, write the answers down, take someone with you to be a second set of ears (trust me you forget things!) and Breeeeathe!
Best wishes for everything.
