1st consultation

Hi  @Danielle49 and a big welcome to you. Just thought I'd say it's ok to be scared totally shitless!! Its okay to have a huge cry, scream, rant, rave. It won't change anything but what a stress relief. And it does get better, things settle down, it becomes less scary and more doable. You are in the most frightening phase at the moment,  so draw on everyone here for strength, courage and support because we are all here for you, sending everything we can, to try and help you get through this. Big hug. Xx Cath

@Danielle49 you are stronger than you realise. Hugs to you...

& as @"Soldier Crab" just said to me.... we got your back girl!!

Hi Danielle, welcome and sorry you had to find yourself here...but glad you have joined us. This group has so much collective knowledge and experience.

The first weeks will seem surreal but as you gather your team together (breast surgeon, plastic surgeon, oncologist, breast care nurse), the plan will become clearer.

Don't be afraid to ask any questions...ask lots...write them down....because your team is there for you and you're in it together.

As your situation clarifies, we will be here to lend a supporting hand. Take care Nikki x

Thank you so much ... 45 minutes and counting ......

hi Danielle,  sending you hugs and energy to cope with the next few weeks as you learn what is next. 

we are all happy for you to ask questions and we will share our own experiences and laugh and cry with you as the need arises. 
Hugs

@Danielle49 it looks like the My Journey Kit is on it's way. If you don't receive it you can order it here.

Hi Danielle - wow how good is that it was picked up because you broke your heel and they decided on a body scan!!  Yes it is a shock but also a positive as in it has been picked up early!  As Michelle has said the My Journey kit is free and it has a wealth of information and then there is all of us on here!  We will help you through so please come back and let us know.....Take care

Hi Danielle,  so glad you found us - we all know exactly how it feels, and there will always be support here for you when you need it.   The good news is that the full body scan picked it up so early - that is such a big plus as it is still small and can be treated quickly.  When you have seen the surgeons and have a treatment plan, you will feel much more in control.  Please don't go to Dr Google - come here instead, and send for your My Journey kit from BCNA - it is invaluable and tells you everything you need to know.  There is a section for your appointments/receipts/questions and you can read as much or as little as you want about treatments, etc.  When do you see the surgeons?  Try not to worry too much in the meantime, and come online if you need to talk.  One step at a time.  Big hug.  Michelle x
