New diagnosis

Welcome to this network,and what a great post by Mona.I agree that finding a surgeon,and oncologist,that you feel confident in,is VERY important.For me,because I really had no clue what I was up against in the early days,I found that this network and the advice from the ladies on here,is what got me through those first couple of weeks.Then,once I had my plan of treatment,I felt a lot calmer and more confident.My husband was overseas when I was diagnosed,and I think that a bit of adrenaline kicked in,or something like that,because I was very matter of fact about things in the first few days.We all cope differently I think,so just do what feels right for you.I didn't see a breast care nurse until my chemo started,but I think that if you see one,they will definitely be able to give you a good idea of what to expect,and perhaps options that may be available to you.Stay on here ,and if you have any other questions,just put them on here.There will always be someone on here to help,you.Cheers xoxRobyn
