Terrific that you've found us @FionaM13, welcome to the club that no-one ever thought they'd have to join! xx ... It sounds like you are recovering well xx. That's Good that you've stopped googling ... there is just so much OLD & incorrect info out there, that is not relevant to your own situation & diagnosis .... your medical team will keep you informed on everything. Have you been assigned a BC Nurse yet (from your surgeon or McGrath?) They will be another source of info too. If you start to feel anxious or distressed at all, you can also ring our helpline Mon-Fri on 1800 500 258 for a reassuring chat xx
All the best for your results xx
