So sorry to hear yet another one has joined the bc ranks.
At least there is a little good news in that its only one breast and so far no node involvement.
Same verdict as me. Keep an eye our for your my journey kit as hubby and I had no idea what bc involved and waiting weeks for the surgery our heads were doing all sorts of things. Knowledge is good especially for husbands who can do nothing to help you but just be there.
I dropped 3kg straight off with the news but my lovely breast care nurse said that is a normal thing.
I think my long awaited menopause has decided to start with the news as well so I am doing the whole hot flush, cold put on a coat, hot flush then cold put on a coat thing. I've sort of gotten used to it. Its amazing how well we can adapt.
Little tip, before going in to shopping centres or doctors offices pop a strepsils in your mouth. The antibacterial goes for hours to ward off nasties. Our family used to do the same thing when we went to the annual city show and we never got sick except for the year we forgot the Strepsils oops!
