Any advice for a newbie?
Hi everyone,
This is still so overwhelming and surreal. I was diagnosed on 28 May 2015 and had a lumpectomy on Tuesday, 2 June 2015. I get my results of the surrounding area of my tumor this Friday...

Thank you so much to each and every one of you for responding. Each comment was positive and gave me some hope.
I got my pathology results back today and the surgical margin was 'relatively clear'. No more surgery was the good part of that. I knew before surgery I would need chemo. The surgeon today told me 4-6 months worth. It was an aggressive nasty triple negative cancer which likes to pop up in other parts of the body hence the chemo to catch any rogue cells. The tumor was 2.5cm hence a free upgrade to grade 3 which didn't make me very happy but I should be feeling ok all the same as every other part of the result came back not too bad.
My oncologist appointment is next Thursday. Geeeeez, another wait :( I will then be starting chemo pretty much straight away. I hope this means I will have a really lovely Christmas.
I hope you are all doing ok and thank you so much again for being supportive xo
