What to do?!!
Morning all! Yes should be sleeping but too much on my mind. Diagnosed approx 5 weeks ago with bc & after lots of tests, scans & angst had a lumpectomy & sentinel node biopsy last week. Great!! But no.... Need more surgery but now back to the decision of re-excision or mastectomy & to top it off found out 2 days ago am pregnant. Confused much?!

Hi Rach Congratulations, I will message you when I have my first one too!!
Thanks so much for the info. I have just recently been in touch with the nurse & OMG, she is amazing. We are meeting up tomorrow to work out a "plan". There is so much going on... my oldest daughter Samantha (27) has a genetic disease & has cancer AGAIN (3rd time for her) & I found out this on the same day as me. I also have Isabella (4) she is adorable but full on & some days it just feels like a bit too much and now the unexpected pregnancy, (I'm 46!). I do have some great friends who say I'm really strong etc, but that's on the outside lol!
Keep up the good work :-)

They are truly wonderful & a great resource, whatever your treatment plan please know that you can do this & you are stronger than you ever imagined xxx Take care Rach xo
