Trying to make sense of it all.....

Hi there @Janine60 how did you got with your appointment? Please let us know. Hope you are ok. And @Crusty surely you must of had your appointment too now also ?. And that’s bullshit you have both had to wait that long.  Like some of the other ladies said it’s the waiting that’s the worst I think. Once you’ve got your plan then you can start to get your head around it. I hope you have both been able to contact your breast care nurse or at the very least the social worker at the hospital for some support or the BCNA Hotline perhaps. And no matter what stage your bc is at it has its challenges and anxiety is a normal feeling and so is feeling fragile, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Shit I remember when I was first diagnosed and I saw my so called bc nurse and I walked away thinking fuck I’m going to die that’s it. Then thankfully I saw my oncol and felt so much better even though chemo was part of my treatment plan at least I knew where I was at after that. I then had another issues with the bc nurse and she was no support at all and to be honest I hardly ever heard from her which was disappointing but Im glad as she was pretty ordinary. So I took things into my own hands and found out about all the support services available myself and I got a lot of satisfaction about that as I now get to pass that info onto bc survivors in my local area. @Crusty where abouts in qld are you?  Perhaps I can help you?  I’m brisbane north side. Feel free to PM me if you like. Margie xx
