. I am awaiting results of my oncotype test to see if Chemo is needed before I start radiotherapy and hormone treatment. Every day there is a new emotion to experience. I am trying to keep things as normal as possible for my 2 children. I find it very hard to talk to my family and friends about my cancer. I'm the first in our family to be going through this and its the not knowing what to expect from treatments thats terrifying me the most. Does anyone have any advice. Greatly appreciated xx"
