Hello, I had a lumpectomy and breast reduction on Friday. My iron levels were really low, so the consultant referring me for more tests. Now i think I'm bleeding when I have a wee. I can't stop crying.
Be grateful for any advice on how to function
Hi and a warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community, a Community that no one really plans to see themselves joining, and so sorry to hear about your diagnosis and your ongoing challenges. A cancer diagnosis is such a rollercoaster.
