Baby Steps

Hi Tanya,

Thanks so much for your lovely reply. :) Really appreciated! In a strange way it is actually both reasurring and also concerning to know that someone else "out there" has been through similar. From the discussions I have had with my "specialists team" it unfortunately seems to be not as uncommon as many would think. I am therefore hoping to find others that have been through this themselves already (hopefully will find your friend online!) and also those that are just staring down this path. I am currently only 19 weeks pregnant so it has been challenging. First round of surgery (amidst the blur of the diagnosis was when I was right on 12 weeks). Fortunately I am a pretty positive person overall so have been coping OK - and honestly I am just very thankful as if it wasn't for this little "blessing" I probably wouldn't have even discovered the lump in the first place - and so early too. I certainly wouldn't have gone to the doctor specifically for it! Whilst we did get to it early, I do need to go through another round of surgery (looks like early next year) and won't be due to finish chemo until just before Christmas. My surgeon and oncologist and all the nurses (and not to forget my husband!) have been incredibly supportive throughout though so I am very reassured we are "both" in the very best of hands. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to my post. Very best wishes to you!!!!
