Well Hello!!!!
Nice to meet you all!!!
Thought I would take the time today to introduce myself rather than just read everyone's posts. My name is Cath and I have only recently been diagnosed. My mastectomy surger...
Hi Cath,
Welcome to the best support on the web - there is a wealth of info here. Have you ordered your My Journey kit yet? It is invaluable on all aspects of this roller coaster.
As you sound a well-organised person, my advice is to buy a large ring binder and plastic sleeves and keep copies of everything - appointments, medical accounts/receipts, chemo regimes, all pathology reports, etc. As things speed up treatment-wise it really helps to keep things sorted and under control. It isn't easy later as things can pile up.
I am an 'oldie' now - which means 4 years post surgery and doing well - so anything you would like to know will try to help with, as will all the wonderful women on this site.
Take this time to prepare. Life is about to get very busy! Best wishes and a big hug. xxx Michelle
