Breast cancer - newly diagnosed

Hi - I've come to join the club, having been diagnosed with invasive ductal breast cancer including a couple of lymph nodes.  Got my Magseeds this morning.  Never had contrast before, and that's only my third ever mammogram (ouch!)

My first oncology appointment is next week and it's booked for an hour.  Is that going to be exam and talking, or might it also include things like the staging scan, the PICC line insertion?  The consultant last week said chemo would start by the end of the month, but I appreciate things can change as new information is gathered.

    best wishes to you.. it's so exhausting isn't it? The appointments the waiting.. cry your eyes out one minute and feel strong the next. I think everyone on this forum feels for each other and it's a great place to talk about anything your feeling.. 

    wishing you the best.
