I was diagnosed with a slow growing incidental finding, 2.5mm in november, having had a biopsy in September.the so and so has been monitored for a while after double mastectomy.
I had some tests to assess my eligibility for the operation and it's all clear to go.mainly it was due to my bmi however I have comorbidities from other conditions.ive been losing weight last 7 mths naturally which I'm proud of but need to keep going.
Basically my question is, I've not heard anything.i know I'm in the system.should I call? Should I wait? The 'not getting the ball rolling means it's on your mind more'.having read these blogs i know it's small.
Thanks for letting me put thoughts on paper.
One of my nurses gave me advice and it stuck with me...she said something like..when diagnosed with cancer you feel u have no control because it's all in the hands oh the doctors and nursing team. She said take control of what you can. This was just before my operation...so I came home and took the time making my nest, because I knew I would be in recovery and ko energy for housework etc. I also did my research ( from British, good sources) so I had a list of all i wanted yo ask the consultant or nurses. So take control of what u can. And your phone call is the start...hugest hugs sweety...always here if u need a shoulder..
