Hi, you are certainly not over-reacting. Those first few weeks are so frightening, confusing and overwhelming, it's no wonder our mind races away with all the possibilities. The good thing is that your pathology sounds very positive and your oncologist will be able to help advise on what is best for you. In the meantime, have you ordered the My Journey Kit from here yet? It is full of great information about what to expect and I used it to help me draw up a list of questions for my surgeon and oncologists. Here's the link to order the Kit: order-my-journey-kit
Jel makes a great suggestion to have a chat with your breast care nurse - they can really explain things well and hopefully help to settle your mind. The Young Women online support group on this site may also be of interest to you: click here to join: young-women-online-support. Some places also run young women support groups, just ask your breast care nurse if you think that might help.
Best of luck hun, it is a tough thing to go through but you will get there. Hugs, Jane xx
