Someone to chat with

Hi Debbie, Welcome to the site I'm sure you will find lots of information & support here. . .I certainly have! I am faily new to this too as I was diagnosed 14th Jan & had surgery, right Mastectomy & lymph nodes removed, on 1st Feb. I start chemo this Thursday. It is all a big shock at first & feels very surreal. Everything happens so fast & it is hard to take everything in. Did your Dr give you the guide for women with early breast cancer? I found this to be a great source of information. It is also included in the my Journey kit that you can order from this site. That is also great. Do you have access to a breast care nurse? They are wonderful & can answer a lot of your questions & support you through all this. I don't have any answers regarding your arm but  your surgeon should.

Wishing you all all the best.

Thanks Di ,

At  this stage so very depressed. See my surgeon on Thursday Dr Ralph Gourlay in Newcastle.

Was told only last Thurdsay. Was told I have 2 lumps plus lymph gland also came back possitive for cancer cells. Not eating and very sick on the stomach. I am 53 years old. Also have really bad pain down my arm is this normal.?

Know what you are going through. I was diagnosed end July last year, have just finished chemo in Jan. so all is fairly fresh in my mind if you want to fire any questions away. Di
