Hi Wendy - I was only diagnosed on 20th October and like you it has all seemed a very surreal experience.  Unfortunatley I have not been able to work since but I did make the decision to tell my work colleagues with the agreement that if they wanted to contact me to do so by text - then I could deal with them when I felt able.

I have just had first consultation with Oncologist and it has finally hit home - the reality of having cancer and its associated treatments but also the care and help that is around to help me through this.

Everyone here has been really supportive which helps with those feelings of isolation.  Hope that we have more chances to chat.

Thinking of you.  Take Care, Angela xx

Hi Wendy

Am 12 months post treatment for lobular breast cancer and have had mastectomy, chemo and RT. See you have joined the Breast Cancer Group so see you there.

I was diagnosed 28/8/09, had surgery two weeks later and started chemo on the 6/11/09. Cancer forces us to experience too many things in too little time. You'll find this site an amazing support through this rollercoaster that we all have to experience. We're all here for you. Keep blogging away hun.

Love
