Hello I'm new to this community. Not sure how to start.
So here goes.... been full speed since mammogram picked up a lump. (Approx 4 weeks ago) Hospital appointments, biopsies, MRI, ultrasounds... pre op tomorrow and hopefully lumpectomy next week. Mind going 100 miles an hour. Feel numb, nervous... and so much more. Have been told if surgery goes well may only need a tablet aday .... but that not confirmed yet. Any advice? Thank you
Hi Teeneybean and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2022 and had a lumpectomy.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and proposed treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
