Be guided by your Oncology Nurses & team or your BC Nurse xx
Welcome to the Club you never thought you'd be joining!! Tell us a bit more about your story so far .... have you had your surgery already? (Sometimes the chemo comes first.) What your diagnosis is & how you've recovered so far xx
You can also ring the BCNA Helpline (1800 500 259 Mon-Fri, 9-5) with any queries - specially if you just need a confidential ear if you are feeling down xx
Take care & all the best
