Oncologist yesterday,what a mind blow of information.

Hello Jacs
I hope that some of the information you were given at your appointment earlier this week has had a chance to sink in and you're feeling a little less overwhelmed. I know it can be difficult when you're faced with some much to take on board in a short space of time.
We do have some information on our website about radiotherapy and hormone therapy for breast cancer treatment which I've linked for you here. Hopefully, you will find it a helpful resource to refer back to.
If you want to chat things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice, information and support they can.
Best wishes,
Jenn

that’s great you skipped chemo , I had 5 sessions in November make sure you use loads of moisturiser before and after sessions it really works x
I also had the oncologist Wednesday and felt the same. I’m awaiting my two weeks of radio too. I need to choose between tamoxifen or injections to stop ovaries and zol something. I’ve just been researching it all lots

Im terrified of all of it x
