Re: Newly diagnosed
@herplv absolutely agree with all the advice above. For me, the BCNA podcast helped a lot. I wasn't coping and rang my GP who prescribed me something to get through the scans and operation. I know the Cancer Council can get you a counselling appointment asap if you are distressed especially when you can't get into anywhere quickly. Wishing you all the luck in the world for your op xx

Re: Waiting for Appointment after Referral Peter Mac
Thank you for the lovely support. I have my appointment now and getting some perspective from the BCNA.podcast about not rushing into decisions has helped a lot. I have started freezing meals and gathering offers of help during treatment has help. Wishing you all the best 🙏🏼

Re: tip or tricks on getting through radiation?
This is an interesting article about mepitel. Clinicians need to look at the evidence. Hope this helps 😊 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10439668/#:~:text=The%20use%20of%20Mepitel%20film,Grade%202%20or%203%20dermatitis.

Waiting for Appointment after Referral Peter Mac
Hello friends, I am newly diagnosed with invasive carcinoma found on a routine mammogram and need a lumpectomy and radiation. I have heard all the advice about not being in a big rush to cut it out asap but I'm curious how long you waited after the referral for Peter Mac? I know it's cat A for surgery (>30 day wait). Trying to keep my anxiety under control but having some idea would help a lot. Hope wherever you are on the treatment path you are feeling good 🙏🏼
