My mind is racing
i had my dx score back this week it was 20
my cancer was dcis (6cm) invasive (1.5cm) Invasive was T1 but overall was upgraded to Grade 3 as dcis went into margin by 0.2mm
I got my first oncology apt book yesterday to discuss chemo
but I received another apt today for 22 March and don’t know what for it has really unsettled me
Hi Virgo
I'm sorry to read that you've recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and it's always an anxious time when an appointment arrives out of the blue.
The second appointment could be the start date of your chemo but no one here will be able to give you a definitive answer. The best thing to do would be to either to ring the number on the letter and ask what the appointment is for or phone your BCNS and ask her.It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date 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.
Sending virtual ((hugs))
