Hi all
A quick introduction
Was diagnosed last week and one of the worst things so far has been telling family and friends. I'm very up and down and angry. I'm hoping this settles because it's a nightmare for my husband.
We emigrated to Spain 2 years ago and even though we both have medical issues we have settled well and enjoying the lifestyle and culture. Then this. I don't think why me because why not me but even so the timing is poo.
I'm going through all the prep op stuff and waiting for a date for an operation. From all the tests so far they've diagnosed it as Stage 1 hormone fed tumour. They don't believe it's affected the lymph nodes but will be making an incision and using a contrast to make sure. The incision to remove the tumour is going to be quite large but they have offered reconstruction as a separate operation. At this point I don't think I'll bother. I'm 62 and not that bothered what I look like but I've kept the option open. Then it's hormone treatment and possibly radiotherapy.
Any advice would be appreciated
