NEWLY DIAGNOSED
Hi there
so this is my first post. I'm not a fan usually of social network but have decided to join this group as an extra support network. I have two great kids aged 19 and 17 and the most gorge...
Hi there nadine
wow what an overwhelming response ive had to my post! Wasn't expecting that. I am so glad now ive joined this forum. Thanks so much to you and everyone who has made me feel so welcome. I wish you all the very best and want to offer my support to you also.
So I do have a few questions to get the ball rolling
Have you had the gene test and if you have daughters have you had them tested too?? I have a 19 year old daughter and am now scared for her risk factor also.
Some women ive spoken to were told what stage they were at prior to their surgery?? Is this what usually happens??
As I have no idea!! I was told had to wait until after surgery.
Also if I have to have chemo is it really as bad as Ive read about or do some have better tolerance than others?? Ive stocked up on pain killers and anti nausea meds already!! I should find out today about my surgery date ill let you know.
Also my surgeon only wants to take 1 boob, Ive read some women have both off in the first instance and some only have one?? Margie :)
