Just diagnosed
Hello all,
I'm a female in my late thirties (well only just) with three young kids ages 5 and under.
I had a mammogram, ultrasound, and biopsy on Monday morning. I saw a surgeon that afternoo...
We all know the fear & waiting...but with young kids they will be your welcome distraction!
I have 2 children & similar diagnosis.....had my 1st mammo mid July - core biopsy etc. before an overseas trip Jul/Aug - 13 Sept had biopsy, pathology results 27 Sept confirmed Invas dcis ER/PR pos (my Mum passed away 2 days after my diagnosis) had mastectomy 11 Oct........so, don't worry too much about rushing to get it done......go with the flow & it is amazing how quickly the process will go anyway!
Like Robyn said (I am her personal stalker!) bc (note: no capital letters for this!) is a treatable disease nowadays even though when you first hear those words you automatically think the worst ( I straight away thought I wouldn't be here to see my kids get to high school & beyond!)
This site really is amazing in keeping us sane & understood by those who are in similar circumstances.......none of us wants to be here but this is what we've been dealt...and we will get through!
Big hug to you....& give your littlies an extra squeeze! X
