Newly diagnosed Mum with kids.
Hi all, Diagnosed on 14th Aug with Grade 3 Invasive Carcinoma...surgery on the 20th - lumpectomy and removal of sentinal node...only just wrapping my head around it all. Starting to all seem real now...

Hi Aussiegirl19, We are on school holidays now but did think that it would be a good idea to discuss with teacher (my boy also has 2 teachers - job sharing). Just so they can keep an eye them also. Will do this straight after hols. Great idea about back up for pick ups!
Not sure about further treatment yet but my Breast care Nurse and GP both say chemo & radiation because of my age (39) and because I have previously had a Melanoma (removed with clear margins) no further treatment needed. Will keep you updated.
You said earlier you have shaved your head - have you found a good wig/scarf or are you embracing the new look. A little concerned if my 6y daughter will handle Mummy with no hair. She is very much a princess.
