Left in limbo after diagnosis

Hi there @Yango...I'm so sorry you've had to join our crappy club. The club is horrible, but the members within  (and our moderators) are wonderful. Always remember, we all get it, we get the shock, disbelief and panic that comes with being diagnosed. We do, however also know from experience that as you get all the tests done, and treatment starts, you will start to feel more in charge of getting things moving forward. As others have already mentioned, the picture will only become clearer, once all the pre treatment tests have been done. Then the final answers, only after the post surgery pathology. In my case, I had two lumps in the left breast, both of which were slightly different in composition. This was discovered via the initial biopsies and dictated the treatment and the sequence of treatment. I think it's a bit like being told after a dip test, "You're pregnant". Only after an ultrasound, the gestation is known. Weeks later, you may wish to know the gender. If there are any concerns an amniocentesis may be performed to rule out genetic problems and so on. But it's only when the baby is born, that you get the full picture. All is revealed in stages, not all on the first day. Not the same delight with BC, but the full picture is unknown at this time. Hang in there, try to distract yourself if possible, and come here any time you need an electronic shoulder to lean on. Biggest hug....Ally,
