Newly diagnosed

Thank you for your kind messages Debbie, Sian & Michelle.  I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

I am taking everything one step at a time.  I have had some good days and some not so good.  I'm sure that will continue throughout my treatment.  I am very lucky that I have supportive family & friends and that I have discovered this online support network.  It is very helpful hearing stories from people who have been there.

I'm a little nervous about losing my hair as it is very long but I know I'll get through it.  I went out at the weekend and tried on wigs with my daughter.  I'm sure I'll love having short hair after the initial shock.

Thank you for your suggestion Michelle.  Yes I have kept copies of my pathology report (the tumour was a grade 3), all my medical receipts etc.

My first meeting with the Oncologist is on 22 April.  I'm not sure how quickly I will start chemo after seeing her?

I will keep in touch & let you know how I'm going.

Thanks again for taking the time to drop me a line.
