a shock

Hi Annette, you will feel somewhat better after your appointment as you then have a plan. It would be good to have a support person with you as it is hard to take it all in. It's  also good to write down things you would like to know at this stage.

I told one or two work colleagues but asked my boss to tell the team. ..as I too didn't  want to deal with their emotions. My own family was bad enough.

I set up a cancer journey private group on fb and invited closer friends and famy to it...I've included photos etc not visible on the main site. If course my general fb shows no hair and breast cancer articles. ..just not the nitty gritties of the journey. It's also a good way to look back on your journey.... just like a diary. Goodluck with your journey. Kath x
