Hi Nicky,
what a shock this must be to you. I'm guessing you're still trying to get your head around the diagnosis while your in a head spin of tests, surgery and procedures? Your treatment team is doing all they can to find out the extent of your bc and the best way to help you. That means for a few weeks there'll be lots of tests and not many answers.
