newly diganosed

So sorry you have joined us but the ladies, as you will already have have read, are brilliant & caring. Try and take one day at a time. It's hard enough getting your head around the diagnosis let alone what will happen next. And it  you have been bombarded with damn awful news. As I recall my GP found the lump in my right breast (I never felt it) my breasts were both sore. Following test etc the GP referred me to a breast specialist surgeon. We have a few nurses in our family so on their advice I made my decision of what specialists to use. He was excellent....straight to the point. He recommended lumpectomy which I did have.  At this stage he knew the stage, grade and that I was Triple negetive. All meant nothing to me!!! Somehow I was referred to a BC nurse who arranged all the information I was sent. And also explained so much to me and my husband. This arrived almost immediately. After two operations to gain clear margins ( and dye put in before the operation) no nodes involved. I saw the oncologist. Who organised the chemo....in my case 6 months of it (but remember we are all different) and then I saw the specialist who organised the  Radiothreaphy.  
As you  will realise there is so much to take in. Be gentle in yourself and you must start putting yourself first. Make lots of notes of questions and if possible always take someone with you.  
Keep us posted.
