Please forgive this post if i get it wrong as i don't really know what i am doing re navigating the site yet but i hope to learn.
I found the site at the weekend and listening to you lovely ladies has really helped me.
After receiving the initial diagnosis I'am trying to make sense of it and how to arm myself with as much information as possible, I am the kind of person that
wants to know what to expect, well as much as possible anyway.
Only a very few people know that I have cancer, I have to keep it a secret as I have an elderly relative who is recovering from cancer themselves so I
dont think that the worry about me will help them in anyway.
Its nice though to have this group where i can get the support i need at the moment rather than confiding in friends and family.
Iam at the stage of waiting for my pre op appointment. My understanding is tey are done each Wednesday so I doubt I will be called in this Wednesday
Hopefully it will be next week.
Hi Robin
Glad you made the call to your CNS. Try to focus on ghe next few steps ie pre op and operation for now.
Then when histology is complete they will advise you on their recommendations. It will be a relief to just get thus far. You can deal with the chemotherapy query when the time comes. They will of course take your views into consideration . You have done well in joining group but remember we are all different and you need to be confident thst the
best decisions will be made for your best outcome by the team.
Take care Maddy x
