I coped with my diagnosis by not telling anyone. Then it was a need to know basis. I just did not want to cope with people's comments and feelings.

It was a shock but was very comforted that it had only got to stage 1. That was 3 years ago and although it was actually a stage 2 cancer it hadn't spread. So a mixture of surprise, (no family history) and relief. I was in good hands!

Hello everyone,
Getting a breast cancer diagnosis can be a life-changing moment, full of intense emotions. It’s natural to feel fear, uncertainty, and even anger, and each person handles it differently.
What were your first thoughts and feelings when you received the diagnosis? How do you cope with the emotions that come with starting treatment and the ongoing medical follow-ups?

Feel free to share your experiences, whether it’s moments of doubt or moments of resilience. Your stories can help others feel less alone on this journey and show that it’s okay to feel a whole range of emotions.
Let’s take some time to support each other, listen, and share with kindness. 💬💗
Take care,
