Need help
Hi everyone :)
I am a new member and a new breast cancer sufferer
I am so confused, my head is in turmoil and not sure what to do.
I am 41yrs old and was diagnosed with High Grade Invasive Ductal Car...
Hello there, I hope by the time your read my quick message, you would have been on the phone and started the questioning process, as I did. I am glad I felt comfortable to reach out for help, because there is a lot to worry about, and worrying solves nothing. I found discussing it with the RIGHT people made a massive difference. I am happy to chat to you, if you live near Legana Amcal Pharmacy, come in and say hi. If you are in Launceston.
Ring the Cancer Council and ask them for the correct phone numbers and also, I highly recommend Counsellors for yourself and any one else who is worried. Keeping a calm head is half of it. We all know how easy it is to go to bed and stay awake thinking about every thing, all night long! So to stop that, just pick up the phone and get answers.
Everybody you hear from will have an individual story, but we are all different, with different decisions to make. In the end, I found that it didnt really matter what others thought, it was about what was right for me. I listened to doctors, nurses, counsellors and specialists, then discussed all with family to get my answers. Then I strongly believed I would be OK......and for me......I am.
I am back at work now, and still hoping I can win LOTTO !
Good Luck, from Belinda McKenna LEGANA PHARMACY ASSISTANT
