Hi @Victoria1 I was diagnosed with early bc in February- lobular bc. I had a lumpectomy with a sentinel biopsy followed by a widening of the surgical margin then radiotherapy 16 rounds. My first suggestion is to get theBcna My Journey kit - it will be invaluable both as source of information , suggestions of questions to ask the medicos -invaluable when your head is spinning -plus journal to record things along the way which I wished I had done.Secondly it's a good idea to have another pair of ears to accompany you to appointments as it can be hard to take it all in.Things usually move pretty swiftly and the medical people you meet will be very supportive so that should allay your fears a little - in fact the hard bit for me is when all that stuff ended and that's when this site was invaluable . Remember one thing many have gone before us , gotten through this and are living their lives happily as will you - it does change your life but most say for the better. Ask as many questions as you want to and we will answer as best we can - there are wise wonderful women on this site to guide and support you.
