@aussiee13 It sounds to me like you are handling this really well! I get the feeling you're a communicator, and so benefit from good conversation round what's worrying you. Here, with your doctors, with the BC survivor you met. Keep talking! I'm someone who likes to talk things out. My breast surgeon was very patient with me and my almost endless questions! It always helps me to understand the steps, and the why of the steps. So kerp plugging away until you feel clear and comfortable about what's happening.
We're all here for you. You've got this. Big hug, K xox
