Newly diagnosed and learning

Hello Lillian67, I'm so sorry to hear your diagnosis but welcome to the online forum. You will find so many kind, supportive and strong women here who truly understand what you are going through. Every one of us had knowledge gaps when we were diagnosed, unfortunately breast cancer is something we learn about as we go and we continuously share and learn from each other. I had a mastectomy but didn't need chemo but I know you will hear from many women who have gone through a similar treatment plan and will be happy to share their experiences with you. It is like a nightmare being told the news, we have all heard those shocking words. Everything is so overwhelming at first - I know it's hard to believe but you will feel a bit better once your treatment starts and you are doing something proactive. When you do find out your stage and grade, your oncologist will have a clearer idea of what needs to be done. But in the meantime it's wonderful news that your bone scan and CT is clear, hopefully you do just as well with the PET scan next week. Good too that you have your My Journey Kit already, lots of good information and answers there. Remember that you are not alone. If you have questions, need to talk or yell and rant we are all here for you. Sending you my best wishes and a big hug. Please let us know how you are doing. Jane xx
