Hi @SallyJ
Whilst it’s never a good time to get such news it’s especially awful just before Xmas - I agree with the comment above , this is a time to put yourself first , it is a bit of a whirlwind following the finding of a lump or other symptom , tests , tests and more tests , then bam, surgery, chemo , radiotherapy ( not necessarily all , and not necessarily in that order).
Once you have a plan from your team you will feel a lot more settled .
This is an excellent organisation , the aim when it was set up was that no woman should have to deal with a diagnosis of breast cancer alone. The website has a lot of very useful stuff ( much safer than “ Dr Google”) and this forum is a great resource , because we have all been there one way or another we all “ get it” in a way others don’t, no matter how much they care.
Take care 🌺
