15 hours to go
Only 15 hours to go before I am admitted for my lymph sentinel node biopsy with the lumpectomy scheduled for hopefully later in the afternoon (not too much later though). Was taken out for coffee an...
Hi lunanoire, I was diagnosed with bc one month ago. Have had a lumpectomy 2 weeks ago today. Core biopsy was done 2 weeks earlier before diagnosis. The last month has been a roller coaster ride for me. Family and friends have been wonderful, I have learnt to say no if someone is being too pushy or telling me what I should be doing.my biggest piece of advice is to make sure you take someone with you for your post op appointment. My surgeon told me that we would get the big picture at that appointment. The big picture was bigger than I had expected. I was sent to an oncologists the same afternoon to discuss my next step. The oncologist recorded my consultation and emailed it to me. That was amazing S I didn't take in half of it, my husband took in a lot more than me. My travel journey kit from BCNA was mt life saver when trying to make sense of everything I had been told.
good luck on your journey, sending you lots of positive vibes and hugs. Leanne B
