Hi
Just recently diagnosed with Triple Negative breast cancer on 07.09.20 Had lumpectomy last Wednesday and in a place where I don't feel fully informed about everything about my diagnosis - not so much as the doctors haven't told me stuff, more in that I have found the ability to retain info whilst going through this very recent and quick diagnosis hard to retain. I see myself as a fairly intelligent woman but feel since the diagnosis that I haven't two brain cells to rub together which makes me feel pretty useless .... especially as a lot of you on here come across as very well informed x
