When you are in a good headspace,perhaps write a letter to the manager of the medical centre.It doesn't have to be a nasty one but rather constructive criticism that telling clients about a cancer diagnosis should be in person and not over the phone.They should have policies about such things and if they don't, then they should. The birth of a baby should be such a happy event but I am sad for you because your joy may be undermined by what's to follow.Can I ask where you live?-because there may be a bc support group in your area which may be of some help to you.Have you ordered your free "My journey kit" from this network?This information kit will get you up to speed.Many support groups are linked in with BCNA and are listed on this network.I run one in Kellyville,north west Sydney. It sounds like after your "botched up"start to this bc journey,a plan is coming together.Keep coming back here for support and my best wishes for a smooth delivery of your baby. Tonya xx
