New to this and it is hitting me that it is a waiting game.
Hi everyone - I' 45 and was diagnosed last Friday with stage 2, IDC, triple positive breast cancer and saw the surgeon yesterday - we are going to go down the chemo/radiation route first over surgery....
@LisaJHM Yep. Small chunks. I couldn’t take it all in at once and I actually didn’t want to know the stage as I felt that was too daunting. Once chemo was finished I asked them and I was a stage 2B. Just deal with one step at a time. If you want to know ask. Write down questions as you think of them because you will definitely forget them once you are in the appointment. Your hospital may have a wig library so check that out and have fun trying on all the different styles. I was laughing so hard and my daughter who came with me kept looking at me cross eyed. In the end I decided bald is beautiful. Wait until you feel the shower on your bald head - absolutely liberating (almost orgasmic, oops).
