Hi there,
welcome to all of you girls but I'm so sorry you've had to join us. It's is difficult to make plans regarding treatments and surgery until you get your pathology reports from the surgery. We all have different paths to follow depending on our results. What I would suggest is the following:
- get your my journey kit and have a read. It may help you understand about your options a bit better
- take someone else with you to your appointments as you may become overwhelmed and not remember things that were said
- ask lots of questions of your medical prof. essionals. Don't be shy or embarrassed as they have heard it all before and understand what a huge decision it is to make
- don't be bullied into making a decision by anyone. You have to live with your decision and the consequences of that decision.
- and lastly, take one day and one appointment at a time. Things can change fairly quickly early on. I was initially told I wouldn't have to have chemo but after the pathology came back I did. Remember that although this is hard, you will get through it. And we will all be there to help you through. All the best. Karen xox
