Hello ladies
just been diagnosed today wtih Triple negative, :(
This is after having breast cancer in dec 2007 and spending all of 2008 with chem and radiation.
was not prepared for the news today ...
Oh Amanda I wish I could be there to give you a big hug. I can't imagine how overwhelmed you must be feeling right now. Where are you having your treatment? Have you been provided with a councellor or psychologist? I am having my treatment at the Gold Coast University Hospital, just had my second chemo treatment and have already seen the pscyhologist three times. When I arrive for my last treatment I was a blubbering mess and couldn't even tell the receptionist who I was. I didn't even know why I was so upset, it just came over me. The nurses asked if I would like to see the psychologist and gave him a call and within 15 min he was there to talk with me. I can't tell you how helpful that was. We worked out what was wrong and since then I have been able to rectify the problem.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting this but I am a great believer in accepting help from professionals when it comes to my emotional and mental health.
Big big hugs
Love
Joy xx
