Day 1 of cancer

Hi Lisally, It is such a shock to hear you have breast cancer. It will take a while to sink in. The first few weeks whilst you are learning more about your cancer, your options, your treatment will be the hardest. I found when you start doing something it starts to get a little easier. My best advice is take someone with you when you see dr's and specialists as second set of ears is important and write down your questions so you don't forget them. You are not alone. There are a lot of us out here who know how your feeling so ask questions or link with people for support as it really helps. It will get easier as your knowledge grows and you start to feel the support of those around you, including surgeon, oncologist and nurses. Keep in touch. I'm in Smithton, so really the other end of state, but sending lots of hugs and thoughts. You will get through this. Gaylene
