Breast cancer: How did you feel when you were diagnosed and started treatment?

Hello everyone,

Getting a breast cancer diagnosis can be a life-changing moment, full of intense emotions. It’s natural to feel fear, uncertainty, and even anger, and each person handles it differently.

What were your first thoughts and feelings when you received the diagnosis? How do you cope with the emotions that come with starting treatment and the ongoing medical follow-ups?
