Hi Kazzi, welcome to the network, it's not one we always wanted to join but it's a great place for advice and comfort. It is a long journey, but it is doable. I was diagnosed in Sept 2013, had a lumpectomy in the Oct, chemo, radiation followed by genetic testing. I had 2 tumours in the one breast, luckily they were close enough to each other to be removed basically as one. One piece of advice I received which I found helpful was to take one day at time. I found when I looked too far down the track it became overwhelming. The waiting was the worst, waiting for results, waiting for treatment plans etc. I finished my treatment in May 2014, I still need to take a hormone tablet for another few years, but I am back at my job and feeling good. You will too, I wish you all the best for what lay ahead, take care and keep in touch, whether it be advice you need or just to vent,
