scared & feeling numb



Recommended Posts

Try not to panic (easier said, I know!) Several years ago my mother had a lump that did turn out to be malignant. She had a lumpectomy and did a one year course of non-chemo treatment. She had no side effects to speak of, no fatigue, and has had no further issues or sign of reoccurance.

There is of course every chance in the world your situation is something harmless - just want to remind that even if it isn't, doesn't mean you won't be totally fine as well!! That being said, I completely remember the feeling of waiting for those test results and am so sorry you are going through it!

I too am sending you my thoughts and prayers. My mother was diagnosed approximately 6 years ago and I was sure we were going to lose her, but she is still here, has had some rough times and her cancer was difficult because it was HER2 + and more difficult to treat, however, it has not recurred thus far and she is doing well. I know you are going to have a tough road ahead and I wish you all the strength you need, you CAN get through this. I hope you find out it is non-invasive. I know you will probably find yourself spending times on other forums which are more particular to cancer, but please keep us updated!!

Praying for you. You're a fighter and will make it through just fine. I have had two girlfriends that had it and are doing great! WIth the recent medical break throughs, you will over come this hurdle in no time.

As a breast cancer survivor of 2 years now I can sympathize with you. I know exactly what you are going through.

It is tough, but time flew by for me and I prevailed. You will too. I had bi-lateral mastectomy, reconstruction, and chemo. If there are any questions or support you need, please feel free to ask. I will be thinking and praying for you. Jen

Sending my prayers and best wishes your way! Just went through this with my mother in March. We were lucky - stage 2 - opted for total breast removal and she is now starting hormone therapy - no radiation or chemo needed.

I am having a routine physical today and mamogram next week. Scared me enough to get back on track with my preventive care schedule! Please keep us posted on the course of treatment you elect. Again - hugs and prayers coming your way!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
