SO sorry to see you here @MisseMooks - it is really tough when you don’t have family and friends around you when facing this treatment. :(
Were are you assigned a Breast Care Nurse? They can be invaluable in interpreting the ‘surgeon speak’ into something you can understand. The nurses at the chemo clinic are amazing also ... so if you have any questions, ask them as well.
Failing that, ring the help line here ..... 1800 500 258 ....
Where abouts are you living? (Twin or city?) We May have members nearby who can put you onto suitable services that may help you.
Big hugs coming your way xxx take care xx
