Hi, I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer on 11 August 2014. I had surgeryon 21 August 2014 to remove 2 lumps and 2 nodes which were 'sticky' My specialist has said that I will probably need to have more nodes removed very soon, we are waiting on pathology.
All of my family is in the eastern states while I am in the west. I have told my mother and her response is of the religious nature which is of no interest or help to me. Again she has let me down but I should be used to it by now . I have always had to be the tough one and do everything on my own. I do have the love of my partner, without him I wouldn't be soo tough and capable. Maybe I a?m emotionless
I don't think I am scared, stressed or nervous. My thinking is.. this is cancer, cut it out of me and all will be done.
I have read all the information given to me by my breast specialist and have read all about the emotional rollercoaster that people go through and how support is needed to get through this.
I am however a bit confused as to why I would need a breast care nurse and what role they would play. I am hoping that someone can help me with this information.
I appreaciate and thank you in advance for any assistance that comes my way.
