Hi Aye, welcome to the site. It's great source of support especially in the early days and also all the way through your treatment plan. It is such a scary time especially in the early days, hours. Don't forget to breathe.
- If you haven't already, get the 'my journey kit' from bcna (free). Lots of information and advice.
- Take someone with you in the appointments to remember your questions in case you forget.
- Waiting for appointments and pathology results is always the worst.
- Take one thing at a time.
- Be kind to yourself in the early days. Once you know what you're facing & the treatment plan is ahead or started just take it slowly.
I was diagnosed earlier this year April and currently going though chemo . (after surgery)
Sending big hugs your way, you're allowed to cry and you're allowed to be scared. Remember bc is one of the more treatable cancers out there.
