Just been diagnosed

Hi HelenO ,

Sorry to hear of your diagnosis, although I am pleased to hear you’re managing to remain positive. 

With regards to questions, I think it differs from person to person. For me I needed a plan. It was important to know what to expect. Recovery times and expectations following surgery felt important. Are you having chemo/radiation? If so I guess any questions you have around the treatment you’re having. One thing I will say is there’s no such thing as a silly question. If it feels important to you then it’s important. 

I didn’t require any further treatment following my surgery so am not very clued up on that side of things, but I’m here if you want to chat or if there’s anything I may be able to help with.

Take care,

Thanks. I don’t have the full diagnosis yet. Have had surgery to remove lump, MRI & CT scan and referred from local hospital to UNiversity College Hospital, London. I have been told they will be in touch once they have decided and arranged the treatment plan. Now is the anxious wait (4-6 weeks) with everything crossed that it hasn’t spread. 

Hi HelenO, 

The waiting can be so difficult. Hopefully you can keep yourself distracted whilst you're waiting. I will be keeping everything crossed that it hasn't spread .
