Thinking of you, remember you’re not alone!
Hi everyone. I’m new here too. I had my mammo and biopsy yesterday and have had an initial cancer diagnosis. I was in a bit of a state of shock to begin with but feel better now after talking to a friend who has had lumpectomy and radiotherapy and after reading through all the help and advice on this site.
I go back next wednesday for my results and the plan of action. I have only told a few close friends so far and my son who is 15 although I’ve only told him the basics. I feel its too soon to tell my other close family because I know they will worry about me and I would rather have all the facts in place first.
Its good to know there are so many lovely people on here who I can talk to and get advice from if I need it. Good luck to everyone. x
