Newbie here

I agree with Deanne and Robyn that ringing your hospital is the best way to find out about the gap payment. At this crazy blurred time you may not take everything and for me, I relied on my husband to ask all the questions and note down the answers. I honestly don't remember much about all the initial appointments and information I was given. I was diagnosed on the 20th Dec 2012 so almost the same as you a year before. I know how frustrating it is waiting at this time of year for things to happen. I had to wait until the 22nd of Jan to have my lumpectomy and the wait nearly did me in. I then had to have 6 months of chemo followed by a double mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. But I'm now a year on and life is good again. I'm cancer free and, apart from a few hickups post surgery, I'm well and happy. This network is amazing and all the wonderful pink sisters are here to hold your hand and help you along the way. It's great to put down your feelings whether you're up or down and know that you are not alone and that we all understand EXACTLY what you're going through. I hope all goes well on the 15th Jo. Sending you good vibes and positive thoughts. Love Janey xxx
