HiGracie I am sorry to hear about the diagnosis and your post surgery complications. LikeSuki I had my diagnosis before surgery and in the summer break and with many specialists and technicians away, it was 7 weeks between finding a lump and getting onto my first chemo.

All the best to you, sending positive energy your way!
