Breast cancer- diagnosed 4 days ago, very stressed

Hi everyone

I was diagnosed with an aggresive breast cancer 4 days ago, still trying to digest it. I have my PET CT scheduled for this Wed. I am very worried as the KI-67 level is more than 95%...everyday it feels like I am punched on the face with an unpleasant fact. I am struggling to stay strong. My daughter who is Y11 is in her own world. My husband who is a 2 times cancer survivor is supportive however I do not have a strong mother. 

How can I keep strong for myself? Please help me.

Thank you for reading this.

Hello, so sorry about your diagnosis and I understand the shock and anxiety that comes with it. You will know more after Wednesday and once you are given a treatment plan hopefully that will settle your anxiety. I just did lots of crying with my first cancer diagnosis and that seemed to help relieve the anxiety somehow. Do you have a close friend or a sister that will support you?  You can always ring the cancer council to talk to someone if you need to. Sending you love and prayers 💕🙏. LindaG
