@BeG like Locksley said I day at a time. Definitely join the young women group. If you scroll to the bottom of the page tap on groups scroll down again till you find the young womens group click on Join. Any problems just yell out.
We do have a great variety and really helpful bunch of people on here. Also on the home page is the helpline number. Plus cancer council have a help line as well.
Don’t suffer in silence make sure you get a breast care nurse. Whether its a McGrath nurse or hospital nurse
DO NOT GOOGLE They are usually out dated and give the worst case scenario.
Once all the relevant tests are done and your team is in place you will have some direction. Take someone with you that you trust to your appointments a second set of ears is a must its amazing what you might miss hearing. Get them to Take notes
If the specialists are any good at their job no question is silly
The my journey app is very useful.
