    I am finding im going through so many emotions and feelings one minute im really scared then the next im determined its really draining at the moment which i guess is very normal. I hope you will have your first appointment soon to start to discuss your treatment plan. I am seeing my surgeon this fri and to have an mri.

    No that's one very good thing is i am being seen really quickly and getting the appointments and scans sorted which is helping to make me feel like something is being done now. Can i ask what specific surgery you will need. 

  • I've got breast cancer so he's doing a lumpectomy witch im thankful for, id all ready had hysterectomy because of tumours so the thought of having to have mastectomy was making me bad.
