It's that old cliche ... It only happens to other people ... and although it's happened to me I keep hearing this voice telling me it's not really as bad as other women's cancers. I still have my bre...

Hi Jacquipp,
It has been wonderful receiving all the replies and words of wisdom from those who have gone before us.
I'm sorry you have been diagnosed with this rotten thing and can't help but feel that perhaps we can get through this together. I was only diagnosed recently and had my lumpectomy last week. Although I was lucky in that my lymph nodes were clear and the surgeon was able to remove the tumour intact, turns out it was more than double the size they first thought and was much more aggressive. That kind of threw us! It was like "Yay! He got it all", but now I am looking at radiation, chemo and hormone therapies. Almost feels like a sentence for crimes committed! When these will start is anybody's guess!
My breast care nurse has not called. I tell myself she must have clients who are in more need of her than I am and I will be seeing my GP on Friday, so that's okay. I have no idea what the correct protocol is there. It's like feeling my way in the dark through an unfamiliar room. Thank heavens for this site!
So thank you for taking time out to contact me and if you would like to share, I'd be more than pleased to listen.
Hugs
San-Dee
