So as the title goes.....I have just recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and have so many questions....fears etc.etc.
I'm sure there are plenty of others going through the same on here.
Thanks 🥰

Feel free to message me. I’m nearly 3 years in after a secondary breast cancer diagnosis in January 2018. I’m not on the thread on here but have found the Facebook groups to be a great support

Hi, I am on my 3rd reoccurence and am more than happy to chat.

You are more than welcome to get in touch.

The questions and worries are all perfectly normal, and do tend to improve as you get more answers and get a plan together to move forward with treatment, whichever pathway that may follow.

Also please do contact your specialist nurse as they are often a total goldmine of information and support

Gentle hugs, be kind to yourself and give yourself time to process everything x

Thank you so much ladies for your lovely replies 😊.
Feeling very much in limbo at the minute awaiting further results. I had lumpectomy & lymph node clearance last Tuesday so hoping & praying there is no spread beyond the one lymph node that was picked up on my biopsy (it was showing as inflamed on my ultrasound).
I know it's oestrogen & prgesterone negative but don't know about the HER2 yet.....I have read and scared the life out of myself about it being triple negative 😰.
All a waiting game....

So sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with breast cancer Abkbjbjb Flowers . I do hope you will be okay and recover from this.

I found the Macmillan discussion forum helpful. There are individual groups depending on the type of cancer. You can also ask experts too.

Take care x
