Actually not sure of diagnostic date - that was when I was told after being recalled for a repeat mammogram which showed indications of BC, followed by ultrasound, palpation by a ?surgeon, who told me...
Best wishes for all your appointments @LynnT. It sounds like you may spend more time in the car travelling than in medical appointments. Is it possible to stay with friends closer? As others have said you may wish to take a friend or support person with you to appointments as there is a lot of waiting and a lot of information to take in. Once dates are set for start of treatment you will find time goes much faster. Big hugs
