Hello heth54

I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. I hope that you're recovering well from your lumpectomy. 

We know that many people find this stage of their journey to be difficult. The uncertainty that comes with waiting for results can be difficult and it's natural that you may be feeling worried about what the next steps will be. 

The decision regarding possible chemotherapy really will depend on the results that come back next week. Try not to think too much about the what-ifs and maybes if you can. Worrying won't change the outcome. the important thing now is to invest in recovering well from your surgery so that you feel ready for whatever the next steps may be. 

We know that sometimes it can help to chat things through with someone and I wonder if you might find it helpful to talk with one of our nurses. If you'd like to speak with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040 and I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice and support they can. 

Keep in touch heth54 and let us know how you get on. 

Best wishes,
