Questions to ask at first visit

Hi Sparkleandshine 

The main questions I wanted answering were what treatments would I have and when would they start.

Hi Sparkleand shine welcome to the forum..I'm thinking back to when I got my results and they did most of the talking. It's best to take someone with you because when they tell you what's what all listening for us often goes out the window. My son took down details for me as I had many questions after. As my fellow Champ Latchbrook has already said its about what's going to happen next. Hope it all goes well and we will be thinking of you. X

I would second taking someone with you but also record the appointment on your phone via voice memos. When they start telling you the news you may well just see them speaking but not hear a thing… you can listen back afterwards when you’re feeling up to it.

Ask them what type of breast cancer you have and then the path of treatment. Don’t ever be scared to ask too many questions. 
Make sure you are assigned a breast cancer team nurse and ensure you have their number. 
It’s pretty sh*t but once you know what treatment you’re having then it gets a little bit easier to cope with, I promise. I wish you all the luck going forward with getting better. It will feel like you’re about to climb the biggest mountain but all of a sudden you’re at the peak.
I would also suggest going on to instagram for instance and joining groups or finding people who are in the same situation as you. I’ve made some friends for life through taking to like minded people. 
I also go to meet ups with a charity called cancer in common. They’re absolutely brilliant. Depending on where you are, there are a few great charities. For instance if you’re near London, the future dreams house is the most amazing place x
