Hi there
Gail here. This is my first post.
I was diagnosed on 24 May (7 weeks ago today) and had surgery 2 weeks later on 7 June. I start radiotherapy on 29 July. After that, on to hormone blockers, which I am most definitely not looking forward to.
The past 7 weeks have been a whirlwind and it is only this week that I have felt up to starting to access some of the resources on BCNA's amazing website.
I have been listening to the Upfront podcast series 'What You Don't Know Until You Do' and am up to episode 7 of season 1. Based on the first 6 episodes, I cannot recommend highly enough.
So insightful, engaging and comforting. I find myself constantly nodding my head because much of the discussion resonates so strongly with my cancer experience to date.
It's nice to be able to make some sense of it all and to know I'm not alone.
Cheers, Gail 🥳
