Originally I was told I’d be doing chemo first however it was changed to surgery first at my last appt.

I too have dense breasts and said from my first appt please do a BMX. I have commenced hormone tx, I’m 49. My surgeon is also supportive of my choice for BMX.
Thank you for the reminder to just take it one day at a time, my mind is always racing forward and that makes me feel so overwhelmed.
Thank you so much for reaching out, it’s definitely helped me feel less alone through this xx
