monday the 10th

Confused???  you will be, unfortunatly when we start this journey we dont understand half the jargon thrown at us, but make sure you take notes down as questions come into your head, that way when you do see the professionals you wont forget what you wanted to know, also i made sure my husband was with me every appointment as i thought i was taking it all in at the time, but i came out the room not knowing if my name was arthur or martha (its actually moira)lol, As for the decision about masectomy vs lumpectomy as tanya said it is a really personal decision and dont let anyone make it for you, mines was hormone receptive, and i had a lumpectomy, then the surgeon came back and said we are going to do a masectomy, anyway long story short i live in rural area, and the professionals in adelaide decided i wouldnt need it, i went with their decision as like you at the beginning i was confused and so i went with the flow, whatever they said i went with, anyway i did have chemo, radio and am on Arimidex tablets for 5 years, so all going well, it wont come back. but who knows. i know wish i had this site to be able to run things past others, and get information, even although the decisions have to be made by you. Please let us know how it goes, good luck Moira
