Just diagnosed - feeling very lost
Hello, I've never done an online blog before - so I hope I don't stuff it up! I've just been diagnosed with grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma in my right breast (with postive lymph node). Its a trip...

Hey Leonie,
I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Completely understand your feeling of being overwhelmed, there's a lot of information coming at you from all sides, particularly in the early stages. Strongly recommend taking a notepad to all your appointments as it's way too hard to remember everything they tell you! Take your time talking to different health care professionals, get second or third opinions if you feel you want them! And remember, there's no right or wrong decision, just the one that's right for you!
I'm also a young (27), single, childless lady in Perth - so you aren't alone! If you want any recommendations on Perth doctors or fertility treatment feel free to send me a private message :) There's lots of women on here that will be invaluable resources to you.
Take it one day at a time. Keep staying positive :)
All the best,
Kerryn
