Introducing me
Hi ladies,
I've was diagnosed with early breast cancer on 5th November, and I'm still reeling with the shock. I guess we all feel that it couldn't happen to us and when it does, it's so hard to accept. Since then I've felt like I'm having a very long nightmare and I'm still waiting to wake up.
I've gone through all the blood tests and scans necessary to assist the doctors in deciding on my treatment. I was surprised to find that I'm actually starting on chemotherapy before an operation, and I would love to hear from any ladies in the same situation.
I haven't been very active on this site up until now as I've felt completely overwhelmed by everything. Yesterday I tackled the 'Guide for women with early breast cancer' and managed to concentrate better and retain the information. One of your lovely ladies told me that information is power, so I'm doing my best to become more empowered.
First meeting with the Oncologist on Monday - wish me luck.
