I was told yesterday

It was only in October that I felt exactly as you are feeling now after learning of my bc diagnosis. You will find things move extremely fast and once you have an idea of what surgeries are needed and what treatments are required you will feel a whole lot better and more in control. I had multiple cancers in both breasts and had no choice but to follow my surgeons advice and have a bilateral masectomy... A decision that I have never regretted. I don't miss my breasts at all... I like to think having the masectomy has given me the best possible chance of seeing my children have my grandchildren. I had a bilateral node clearance which showed 6/21 and 2/21 nodes involved... Not the results I had hoped for. I will have my 4th cycle of AC chemo this Friday then will commence 12 weekly taxol chemos followed by 6 weeks of radiation. Chemo has presented many challenges... Clots on my lungs etc but I am still smiling and finding something to smile and laugh about everyday. Life will change.. You will face many challenges but if you look hard enough you will find the positives, though they may not be visible yet. You will have many difficult decisions to make and will hear news that you wernt ready for. There are so many amazing, strong women here ready to hold your hand and walk this with you. Reach out and take our hands. Wishing you all the best as you start your journey. Mel :)
