Hi there
CathyMac, I hope you don’t mind if I piggy back on your thread. I’m in a similar situation.
Diagnosed on Friday, the day my daughter graduated from year 12. Talk about wrong timing.
Waited till today (Sunday) to break the news. My anxiety actually decreased once I told the close family. I was quite worried about how they would react and cope.
I use some of the techniques mentioned above to get through the last few days: meditation, Diazepam, dinner with friends, reading, etc
Major trips overseas booked. Daughter 4 months in Europe before starting uni, her dad going to the Himalayas and South America for about 6 months and me just a short 6 weeks to Germany. We’ll have to rethink these once I get a treatment plan.
Quick question to those who are a bit further on the journey: I’ve got an appointment with my GP Monday to get a referral to a breast surgeon. Roughly, how long from getting the referral to having the actual surgery? Just hoping I’ll get that part done before Christmas. I’m in Brisbane.
Thanks for your support, it helps to know I’m not alone. Take care
