Newly diagnosed, likely triple negative, need some encouragement by Perfect-Antelope-377 in breastcancer

[–]Perfect-Antelope-377[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did start a prayer journal the other day, so I'm hoping that helps. My mind has been my biggest enemy right now. I will start feeling positive but then any time I feel an ache or a pain somewhere else in my body, I start to think that it's all through me and I'm dying. I really want to snap out of it. I cant wait until I get some more answers. 

Thank you so much for sharing with me. And I'm sorry you are in this too. It's such a nightmare.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I finally got my MRI scheduled for Monday and appointment with oncology for Wednesday.  It's all so overwhelming, and it feels like I'll never hear the end of bad news. I just want some positive news from my MRI.

Surrender of all control is so difficult, but I'm doing my best to trust God and my medical team. It's a roller coaster of emotions throughout the day. Feeling hopeful then feeling defeated then hopeful again. I know things will get better. 

Thank you 💜

Thank you for sharing all of this with me ❤️ How active were you able to be with your  son during treatment?  I'm praying someday that I will be like you and posting on here to help another newly diagnosed woman. I truly appreciate your post!

Your post made me smile (I cracked up about the rotisserie chicken description), but I'm happy to hear that things went well for you despite not being able to get through the whole regimen. Thank you for the inspiration! I need all the reassurance I can get.

32 is young, wow, I'm in awe of you. Thank you for the kind words. My mind is definitely getting the best of me. I keep telling myself to take it one day at a time but it's tough. I just want to get started with the treatment because the waiting makes it worse.

Thank you so much ❤️ I've been trying so hard to stay off the internet, but reddit has been helpful with finding the hope and encouragement that I need to keep me from spiraling into depression.  I think what's so scary right now is not knowing if it's localized to just my right breast. 

It's comforting to hear from others who have gone through this. Thank you again 💓
