Just diagnosed

Hi Lorraine An awful way to meet us all I know, but one day sooner than you think, the shoe will be on the other foot & you'll be reassuring someone else who has been newly diagnosed that it will all be ok. I think Stephanie & Corrine say it all beautifully. It's a huge shock when you're first diagnosed but have faith in your medical team. Even in though it's just over 4yrs since I was diagnosed at 46yo, treatment has changed & is constantly evolving with new research. Next September is 5yrs for me & I will be having one huge celebration. Like most of us, I only heard the words aggressive, advanced & in your lymph nodes. Had chemo, double mastectomy with every single lymph node that could be reached removed, radiotherapy & now on Femara for 5yrs. Things change yes, but the horrible thoughts I had of not surviving have left my head. You will learn lots on here. Feel comfortable enough to ask anything as most likely one of us has had to find out the answer to the same question you have. Take care of yourself. Terri x
