Hello
Hello, my name is Emma and I have just been diagnosed with breast cancer in the last couple of weeks. I am married with three young girls and to say I was shocked and surprised was an understatement...

So glad you have found us - someone will always be here for you when you need support. We understand the total shock and disbelief you are feeling - and I am sending you a big hug.
It is only a few days till your surgery, and after that things will move very quickly. We call it the roller coaster because you can't get off, and you will go from one appointment to another. Keep copies of everything, and take someone to your appointments with you, as stress makes it hard to remember all you are told. Take notes of questions you want to ask and information you need to know. When your surgery is over you can have a double celebration with your daughter - your op & her birthday!
This is the worst time - waiting for surgery, waiting for results, waiting for a schedule - but when it moves it will move fast. Try to put some meals in your freezer, and do accept help whenever it is offered. It sounds like you have wonderful support. Keep in touch, Michelle xxx
