Just been diagnosed

Hi again. 

I have just had a call from the hospital to say I have cancer in my left breast. I was a bit tearful on hearing the results but glad in a way that the waiting is over.  I did ask if it had spread to my swollen lymph node which is clear. Thank god.

I also asked the nurse what grade it is but she didn’t know. I suppose I will know more tomorrow  when I go to speak about treatment. Can anyone advise me on what sort of questions to ask? 

Thank you

  • What treatments they are proposing, dates, timescales, a couple of what ifs like if the surgery didn’t get clear margins, would they operate again? Would you be in hospital as a day case or overnight? 

     

    If you have any other health issues, make sure that you say something about them so that the treatment can be tailored to you.
