Diagnosed yesterday

Hi FD I was diagnosed 12 days ago completely out of left field. My GP picked it up on a routine breast exam, 2 days later I had mammo US and biopsy and 2 days after that was seeing the surgeon and oncologist. This is a crazy freight train we are riding and one that can be scary at times. I am a cancer nurse and have lost count of the amount of patients with breast cancer that I have treated. Knowledge can be a curse sometimes but even with the knowledge I get anxious about things. My first excision had DCIS in the one of the margins so I have to go back for a re-excision. My sentinel nodes were clear but then I worry that the wrong ones were taken! I have a kooky sense of humor and find it helps me get through. Also the thought of helping others helps me too. The girls here are wonderful, look after yourself and take all the support that you can. xxx Dan
