Hello @Barney74, so sorry you find yourself here, but welcome. You are in the right place for lots of support and information. All our diagnoses and treatment may be different but we have all been where you are and had to deal with the shock of being told we have breast cancer. We do understand how you feel.
You will feel more in control once you find out a little more about your cancer and what type of treatment is planned.
There is so much happening at first - I found it really helpful to jot down all the questions I had between appointments. Once I was in front of the surgeon it was very easy to forget to ask something. It gave me a bit of control to tick things off too! Try to take someone with you to your appointments, it's easy to miss something with all the information to take in.
Have you been told anything about your cancer yet? What type, size or grade? All these things will impact what type of surgery or follow up treatment you will need. But just remember, you can do this. You are stronger than you ever imagined and you have all of us here to help you. Keep in touch, take care Jane xx
