Its all so new
I'v just been diagnosed with breast cancer. I'm not really sure how I feel. I found out because of an abnormality at my first screening mammogram. When they called me back to have more checks somehow...

Hi Paulan, I can only imagine the stess you find yourself dealing with right now. The roller coaster that is Breast Cancer is certainly not a fun ride!. The waiting is always rubbish and getting a letter that you have no idea what it means will only be adding to the situation.
For now try to spend time doing things you love to help you to relax and also it could be worth a call to your doctor who is treating you for your CMD, it would be good to keep them in the loop.
Six days will no doubt seem like the longest time on your life and I am glad you have been able to get an appointment sooner than they planned. No doubt the Dr will go over the test results and if there needs to be further identification or better still to begin the organisation of your required treatments. For me, once I had a treatment plan I was able to focus on that and felt much better over all.
If you have not already done so, get BCNA to send out a My Journey Kit as the information in there is very informative and helpful and will will no doubt help with the "you don't know what you don't know" and help you get some questions together.
Is there anyone who can attend the appointment with you? that is always helpful too.
I am sending you warm comforting turtle hugs and hope they help to give you just a little more sleep while you wait for the next step to begin.
