Hi, I can empathize with you. My breast cancer diagnosis came as a shock and to be immediately talking to a Surgeon was overwhelming. Even now three and a half weeks post surgery it's hard to believe t's all happening. I am amazed how smoothly it has gone and the hospital staff were lovely. I am now healing and waiting for my first radiotherapy session on December 18th. It's a daunting pathway and it's really good to have others to discuss it with. Like you, I did some of my Christmas shopping before as I didn't know how I would feel afterwards. I am glad that I did. Hope it goes well for you. 

Hi Mouse,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am glad to hear that your surgery is now behind you and to know that it all went well. It is good that you have a start date for your radiotherapy and I hope that it all goes well. I am 14 years since diagnosis. I had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the first year, but have been doing well since then. I still lead a busy and fulfilling life and I hope that you will too.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you,

Kind regards,

Hi Jolamine, it's good to hear that things worked out positively for you. Yes, I'll let you know. I'm concentrating on taking things one step at a time... seems the best way to cope in stressful times. It's good to have got this far so quickly and to know the next steps to take.

Hi Mouse,

It is much easier to cope with everything, once you know what is happening. Keep on taking things one step at a time, as this is the only way to cope with all the stress  that you have been going through.

Kind regards,
