Wanted to say hello
HI new to group I know I will need your help soon. just been told I’ve got DCIS high grade just waiting to see specialist on Friday to see what my options are. Scary to get my head round. Thanks .
Hi @Pommy8 , welcome to the online network.
There is a lot of support on here and no question is too trivial or silly - we have all been there one way or another.
There is a lot of useful information on this website - it’s a lot to take in and I am still discovering stuff.
I agree with what has been said above about taking someone to important medical appointments as you won’t take everything in .
I took my husband and that was really helpful as he remembered so much I didn’t .
I also kept a journal to keep a record of test results etc but also to write down my feelings and that helped me a lot.
But whatever works for you .
I also tried to keep busy in the lead up to getting test results and having my surgery - as A every one says the waiting is very stressful.
Ince I had my surgery I was in a much better headspace.
Take care.🌺
