Hello to everybody in the community we probably all never wanted to join.
I'm very new, one week post diagnosis BC but having an MRI tomorrow to help with knowing what treatment is needed.
Not even told anyone yet (apart from my partner) so I'm grateful for being on here and being able to get tips and guidance as I go through my new journey.
Take care and I will be back after tomorrow's scan!
