Hi @TripleTea, sorry to hear you're having a tough few weeks. My surgeon said that a lot of cancer in young women is aggressive and that we are all different. The survival rate is improving all the time. The Cancer Council nurses and counsellors are fabulous. Uncertainty is difficult. It gets easier, promise. Doctors don't realise how we listen to every single word they say and they don't mean to be hurtful. Some have more people skills than others. There are lots of doctors out there, find one you click with. All the best. Take it one day at a time, be kind to yourself and do something you love regularly. Love the sunshine today. Am out sitting in the backward after a walk along the beach. I had a bad diagnosis and I'm fine 3 years on, just side effects from treatment. Take care. x
