Hi lb26
Welcome to the forum, I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on the Breast Cancer and Triple Negative Breast Cancer forums and I also help if I can around this forum and others. I suggest that you join the Breast Cancer Forum to get support from other member who are having treatment for Breast Cancer or who have finished Breast Cancer treatment and still hang around to give others the benefit of their experience. Here's the link to that forum: Breast cancer forum .
You might also find it useful to ring the Macmillan Helpline on 0808 808 0000 to get advice about finances, and anything else you are worried about. There is also our Ask a Nurse section where you can get advice about how treatment could effect any other illnesess and planned treatments. Here's the link to that section: Ask a Nurse . You can also as about finances at the following link: Ask a Financial Guide .
Wishing you the best of luck with whatever comes next for you.
Best wishes
