Hi all!

Hellooo to everyone, I'm a total newbie with all of this...just found out on Friday morning, still letting it sink in, but feeling really positive and surprisingly not scared, especially as it seems to be detected early and they said my other breast and lymph nodes are clear. All good signs so I've been told. I've already taken so much strength from my family and friends supportive words of encouragement so I found myself here on this site and to this group, so I'm a total newbie here too lol. Can't wait to chat more with u all and share support and laughs and whatever else comes along the way! Xx

  • Thanks for your replies ladies :) 

    I haven't been advised anything at all yet about treatment, my GP gave me the results on Friday and said he has sent everything to RPH and they will contact me this week and go from there.  Would I be right in thinking that because of it being at early stage and appears to have not spread anywhere into lymph or other breast areas that I may not need chemo, only radiation?

    Liz, good luck for your upcoming treatment next week :)

  • Welcome to the group I found this group amazing I start my very first chemo next Tuesday.
  • You are right,they are certainly good signs that your lymph nodes and other breast are clear.You sound very positive at the moment,and that is great.Do you know what treatment you will be having at all?On this network,as you have probably seen,there are ladies that have had many different types of treatment.When you get your plan,there will be someone on here to guide you through if you need support and advice.This blog was my best friend as I went through chemo! Like you,I had a very supportive family,and friends,but this was the icing on the cake!!!:) All the best for the next couple of weeks,and just remember,the most important thing that you can do at the moment is to take things 'One day at a time' . Come on here any time if you need to talk.:) Cheers xoxRobyn
