hi everyone, this is my first post but I have been reading everyone's posts for a few weeks now. I was diagnosed at the end of Feb, and was doing absolutely fine....felt quite confident- provisional grade 2 only need Wle, radiotherapy and tamoxifen or equivalent for 5 years, so not too bad in the scheme of things. I am a nurse myself and am still at work full time. I have been mucked about with dates for surgery - was given 29th March initially but as I have to have radioactive isotope injection at Bedford ( I'm Milton Keynes) they don't work on a bank holiday, so have been waiting for them to find me another date...anyway got a date for next week now(24th) and it's suddenly dawned on me what's happening. I feel crap....panicky, headaches, not sleeping etc - I think when I had no date it was fine - head in sand - but now it's hit me hard. I've got some beta blockers from go so hopefully they'll help but I'm afraid I find solace in the old vino ( that's why I could relate to blossoms posts - I've been following!) so hopefully I now feel I can join in conversations and not feel like a **bleep**!
