Triple neg grade 3

Ok. So I've just got my biopsy diagnosis and can't get into the surgeon for an app till Fri (my heads spinning and thinking ridiculous things that it'll grow by then)

I'm ok. I've come to terms with it, well so far anyway. I know this is a silly question because work is the last thing I should be worried about. However I really need the cash. I don't have much sick leave. 

I work in a hospital and they will be super supportive and I know that no matter what I won't lose my job. 

Can anyone give me an appropriate amount of time ill need off? I know it varies from person to person. But am I looking at months and months? Or just a few weeks. 

I think this is freaking me out the most. My gut instinct tells me that I'll be ok with the ca, it will be tough but ill get through it.

    Really sorry you have had to find this community, but I am glad you did. It seems ever so variable.....but a lot seems to depend on your health profile and your keeping up your exercise insofar as you can.
     I wish you all the best.

    Definitely check your super insurance @Nix ... good luck, I hope it cones thru for you.

    If you find yourself stressing over financial matters - make sure you seek professional help before it drags you under.  Make contact with The BCNA Helpline, and The Cancer Council ... the CC sometimes do a one time payment up to $400 re utilities ... rates, power or water bills .... 

    take care xx
