If you’ve just been diagnosed with breast cancer, you may be feeling a whole lot of things all at once - fear, sorrow, anger, anxiety. It’s normal to feel these emotions and to feel uncertain and scared.
Information can help to reduce your fear of the unknown, but it takes time to absorb. So take some time to review the medical information you’ve been given. Catch your breath, let those emotions work themselves out so that you can take charge, review treatment options and make the decisions that are right for you.
Screening tests such as mammograms or ultrasound can only lead doctors to suspect breast cancer.
To determine if cancer is actually present a doctor will need to take a biopsy of the breast tissue and then examine this tissue under a microscope to see if cancer cells are present.
