Hi @Angieree, so sorry you are in this situation. It's all so hard at the beginning and very overwhelming. It's one step at a time. Big breaths. I gather your insensitive GP didn't explain what happens next.
So you are getting a referral? Do you know who it is to? I am guessing a surgeon. The surgeon will discuss what if the best way forward. There may also be an oncologist referral too but if not your surgeon might arrange that.
When you get your referral and make that appointment can you take someone with you? Do you have good support. I took my husband to all my appointments. It was helpful because it's alot to process and sometimes hard to take it all in.
Write your questions down so you can ask your doctor these questions at the appointment. Make sure you get the surgeon to explain everything. It's so important that they advise you fully.
Keep busy until that time as it will help with the stress of all this. Do things you enjoy and take in a little exercise if you can as it is good on many levels.
This group is excellent for support and so many terrific people who can help answer questions as you go through this.
Hope you get your referral soon so you can make your appointment to see what the next step is. Best wishes to you.
