Clueless

Hi Avalon. I was diagnosed with BC earlier this month and am now sitting in my hospital room, having had a bilateral mastectomy (that's both boobs removed) and an axillary clearance (all lymph nodes removed under my arm) on the left side, and still don't know what type of BC I have! I should have the full path results early next week and from there will go onto a course of chemo. I found it useful to do my research and read up on all the different types of Breat Cancers so that when I discuss the different courses of treatment with the surgeon and breast care nurse, I am able to ask questions and understand their responses. Just knowing the 'Cancer' lingo is a big help. Always take someone with you to appointments, as it is difficult to remember everything you are told. Take care. Lynne
