Newly diagnosed
Hi Everyone,
I'm a new new diagnose's! I found out on Friday 14 November 2014 at 11.00am that I had breast cancer.
I will be seeing a surgeon on Monday afternoon, don't know what to expect or wh...
Hi Gen,
I saw the surgeon this afternoon, was quite funny as he asked me how did I find the lump or something along that line as I was telling him he was reading the form you fill out and said you don't have private insurance which I replied "no" he asked why did my GP send me to him, I said that it was going to be a week to 2 weeks before I got an appointment at the hospital. The surgeon said that's pretty good and I should really be going to them, my sister said that my GP thought he might be able to get me in quicker to the hospital.
So he examined me and told me that I'd probably be looking at a full mastectomy, I also asked him to explain the whole BC thing. He was really good and went through all the things which for the life of me I can't remember, hahaha. I do remember that I wouldn't know if I was going to have to have chemo until I had the tumor removed and pathology had been done.
It's kind of the rollercoaster thing happening as I asked my husband " what did I do wrong to get this" it's not fair.
Take care Gen
