I want to thank those of you who replied to my first mail yesterday. The wait after you get the assessment call back letter is horrendous. I waited for a week and went to the assessment alone thinking maybe it was ok. It would have been much better with a friend as I was there from 9:45 to 3 and close to fainting after all those tests, fear, anxiety, lack of knowledge and crying. The women there were very professional and also very supportive. I live alone and work and hope it will be alright. I expect to get sent an appointment for treatment plan once biopsy results are in. I'm trying to think of this as a positive learning experience, as something that will grow me as a person. I have stronger moments and weaker moments. I don't want this diagnosis to be me, I want to be me and enjoy the present and the beauty of life as much as I can. Like to snowy landscape outside.
Glad you found support on this thread. Click on my name and you will see I'm 7 years down the line from my recall to first routine screening. Time flies when you having fun
