HI all. I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer about a week ago and feel like I'm caught in a whirlwind. I'm waiting on an appointment with an oncologist to talk about Chemo - apparently the plan is about 6 months of Chemo then surgery to remove what will hopefully be a smaller lump. I'm trying not to go down a Google rabbit hole about what happens next etc and I've had some good information from the very helpful staff so far, but I thought it would be good to see if anyone had any suggestions for navigating this early part of treatment. I'd also like to wish everyone well who has just had their own diagnosis and I hope we can all support each other on this journey. So pleased to have found these forums.
