Hi Fiona It is emotional and a shock and I some times think am I taking this too calmly, should I be panicking but as that seems a pointless exercise I try to keep my mind busy. I saw my oncologist yesterday and have a date to start 3 months chemo and herceptin and will have that for the 12 months and radiotherapy after chemo. Surgery was 2 weeks ago and I'm feeling well now. Back to work next week and when chemo starts I will see how I go . Work has been very happy to be flexible and I am able to take a few sick days per week so will hopefully work when I am well and take days off if I am unwell. Will try to keep rested and eat well and exercise and will take each process I step at a time. I went to my mothers last week and 2 of my brothers were there and we sat and talked and had lunch together and apart from one "how are you feeling" question it was not mentioned. Bliss!! Your family are in shock but it is your call just redirect the conversation and say you don't really want to talk about it at the moment and stay away from people who make you feel bad. Good luck with it all
