Im alone and dont want to burden others
Hi all. I was diagnosed Wednesday. Had to tell kids parents and a few friends. had MRI CT Bone scan waiting a week for results. Now have to go xmas shopping. Its exhausting mentally physically and emo...
You are not a burden here, it is probably the best decision I made joining this forum.
You get good advice from those who know what you are going through.
I was officially diagnosed 4th December but I found my large lump at the end of October and I instinctively knew it was not good.
I waited a week to get into my GP, it's a busy clinic but I wanted to see my usual GP because I love & trust him.
Then I had to wait another week for the Mammogram, ultrasound, called back within 2 days by my GP with results "most likely cancer" and three areas of concern.
I waited 3 weeks from "urgent" referral to get in to the public health sysytem.. their PDF says within a week for urgent, I had to call a couple of times and in the end my GP rang and I had an appointment the next day.....it was a good month of limbo land and it sucked and I was frustrated.
Once I was in the system though, it has been full on every day, you are dealing with so much new information. Crikey the drug names are enough to do my head in.
Be kind to yourself and ask all the questions you want, being alone must be very hard, we are all here for you. :) xx
