Scared !!!

Glad to hear you've turned the corner and feel better about getting ready to tackle this. :-). Because you will. And you will surprise yourself how well you'll do.

I can't really advise you on what to tell your children, as I don't have any unfortunately, but for what it's worth, I would perhaps wait until after you meet with your surgeon, have all the information you need, know what's ahead for you with treatment Iif anything beyond surgey), and then you can look them them in the eye, tell them what you need to and be able to answer the questions they have.

I know chemotherapy has been a big concern for you, but it is not very common for this to be needed when BC is diagnosed at stage 1. Similarly radiation is not usual with a mastectomy unless more than three lymph nodes are involved, which is unlikely to be the case with a stage 1 diagnosis.

Did they give you any more information about the type? They have definitely caught it early and that is something to celebrate when the fear hits, ok? 

Hope you have something lovely planned with your family for the weekend.
