I know how scary and daunting that initial diagnosis is. I can't believe it's been just on five months since I was diagnosed. The kit has lots of information in it, just read what you feel ready for. I still haven't the part about radiotherapy as I don't feel I'm ready to read it as I'm still doing the Taxol.
Write down your questions, take someone with you and make sure you get an appointment to see the Breast care nurse. I found I just didn't take in what the surgeon said to me but after a chance to calm down I took in the information a lot better when I saw the nurse.
Any rate best of luck with your treatment and if you have any questions or just need to vent don't hesitate to message me. Regards, Cheryle.
