Here we go
Where do I start, I am 29 years old I have been married for two years this Wednesday and have been diagnosed with stage 3 invasive ductal carcinoma. Who would have thought your life could change so m...
Hey Maz
Hello to you sweety. I also find it hard that you are here talking to us because you are going down the same track that a lot of us have had to go down and yet you are so young. I don't understand why so many young people are being diagnosed. Your new life is just beginning. But in saying that it is a real positive that you are so young and I am sure fairly well and healthy.
My main advice to you is to just take things day by day or even sometimes hour by hour. Nurture yourself. Drink lots of fluids, mainly water and eat and sleep well.
I am so glad you have found BCNA and therefore your new pink sister family cause we are here for you every step of the way.
I hope you have your "My Journey Kit" which will be extremely helpful for you. You can order it online if you haven't and it will arrive in the post.
There are so many people who have walked down the path that you are walking now and we all fully understand your panic (doctors don't realise we can't really enjoy our holiday worrying about possible BC). I am amazed how they make us wait when we are living in fear. We understand all your fears and that you have to have all these ongoing tests etc. You would have had more with your IVF but you have some really great positives that have come from that.
Sometimes it helps just to get it out there. Sometimes you can't talk to hubby or mum or dad or other loved ones because you don't want to scare them or worry them so it is good to come on here and chat away.
We are definitely here for you when you need us.
Lots of love always, Mich xoxoxoxoxox
