2 months agoSo on October 16,2025.i was told I had breast cancer before my biopsy, from my healthcare provider,so after biopsy I was told they found 2 cancer in my left breast.i was so scared anxiety set in, like never before.after biopsy my doctor said I would have to have surgery chemo then they would tell me my stage..moving forward i couldn't sleep think it was a life changing experience in my life.so i met with my oncologist, first he also said that I have 2 masks that are cancerous and recommend I get the whole breast moved because they see other small mass around.he also said I was stage 1b.before i could do surgery i have a lot of test to take. P.ET scan bone scan genetic test blood work mri so moving forward I met with the surgeon he really didn't know what was going on with me I had to fill him in smh but anyway he also recommend I get the whole breast removed and before surgery I would need to see the cardiologist and get mri of both breast part 2 on next conversation

While waiting for treatment decisions and staging information creates additional uncertainty, connecting with others who have walked similar paths can provide comfort and practical coping strategies. Consider reaching out to your healthcare team about anxiety management resources, and remember that this supportive community is here to listen and share experiences as you navigate this challenging time.
