Welcome to BCNA although I'm really sorry that you find yourself joining us. As you have discovered this site can really help when the world seems to have gone mad. In just a heartbeat we are thrown into a foreign place with lots of procedures and waiting for results.
But we are lucky to live in Australia with a wonderful health system that works really well when you suddenly need it. Wishing you all the best for your surgery (I had a mastectomy just over a year ago). If there is anything we can help with just ask. Keep in touch and take care. Deanne xxx
