Hello Jen
Gosh I remember what it's like at the beginning. Don't be shy at having a jolly good melt down/temper tandrum or just a good cry.Take one day at a time and try of course to take someone with you to all appointments because love, you think you can remember, but it's wise to have someone else there either recording (ask permission) or writing down.
In a lot of respects the cancer journey will bring out the best in you it can bring a family together. Wait for it to happen and this time in 6 months you will be able to help some person just in your position. Just like me who is determined to be on the road of recovery. I only have 6 weeks of radiation left as I start Monday but I have done 5 months of chemo and had a bi-lateral mastectomy a month ago. I had 20 G girls and I feel I move like a grey hound now!!!!!!!!! I will not be getting re-contrustion but I am 55yrs old and that decision is the right one for me. I am also a public patient and proud that WA have the best in Breast Cancer. Keep in touch and do come alone to next get to gether held in Mount Lawley. If you need any help with transport let me know or Mich who can arrange anything!
Cbyer hugs and you can do this girls.
