Thanks Sam for the advice and for the words of encouragement. You are so right about the emotions and why do you loose control in public. I'm OK at home, most of the time, but it doesn't take too much to trigger when you are out. I love shopping, but I must admit it has just brought me to tears in the last couple of days.
I'm assuming I will be "assigned"a breast care nurse soon (all will be revealed when I see the surgeon tomorrow). I have registered for My Journey Kit and I'm eagerly waiting it's arrival. I'm slowly making my way through the Guide for women with Early Breast Cancer". What a fantastic publication. So much to take in, which as you know is very difficult at the moment, as the brain is really not engaging at all.
Regards
Julie
