Newby: Hobart

Whilst I live in Victoria I understand what it means to be newly diagnosed and just so scared and in shock. I found my lump by accident late in November lying down in bed, with my hands across my chest. I moved my right hand slightly from my sternum across my breast and thought OMG what is that? It was round, hard and definitely did not feel right. But when I sat up couldn't feel it. Any rate gone, had 4 AC chemos and started Taxol and Herceptin. Make sure when you go to your appointment/s that someone goes with you because there's so much information to take in (I certainly didn't take it in the first time), write down your questions and ask to see a breast care nurse for a follow up information session. Best of luck with everything, cheers. Cheryle.
