Need some support

It is such a shock to receive a diagnosis of breast cancer. Many of us feel healthy and have never had any health issues before. But with an early diagnosis most women have treatment and go on to lead long healthy cancer free lives. Recovery from surgery takes a few weeks. I had a mastectomy and 8 lymph nodes removed. I was able to drive after a week and resumed most normal activities after 2 weeks. I had radiation for 5 weeks. I was very tired for the last week of it and for a few weeks afterward, but I had had 4 months of chemo before this. You will find the waiting for results after your surgery is a tough time. But focus on what you already know, that it is small and early stage. This is good news. It is a life changing event to be diagnosed with cancer but breast cancer is so very treatable. Talking with others on here is very helpful in learning how to deal with this situation, so please blogg back here when you need to. Letus know how you go. Take care and all the best for your surgery and treatment. Deanne xxx
