NEWLY DIAGNOSED
Hi all
What a shock when I got called back after a routine mammogram, I had to go to Nambour where they did an ultrasound & 2 core biopsies, they told me I would have a good idea before going home ...
Hi Eileen. Welcome to the worst club in SEQ... Sorry you had to join us but now that you are here, welcome to a pretty amazing sisterhood.
I got my diagnosis in November (I was on my own because I thought I was ok!) and after a lumpectomy, subsequent mastectomy and my first round of chemo, I still don't believe it's happening.
You will have good days and bad days and you will have to learn to be REALLY nice to yourself but if you just keep putting one foot in front of the other you will eventually get to the end.
I am lucky that I have a great support network and excellent medical team but it's the ladies on this site that have got me through some of my worst days. Stay in touch with us, don't be frightened to ask questions, put on your war face, baby and get ready for the fight!
We will all be here every step of the way xo
