Hi Doreen, and welcome to this site. You are in a group of women who will help you every step of the way. Remember, the vast majority of us will get well and be just fine. I am 9 years post treatment and okay. This is a terrible shock and scares you silly, but don't feel alone. Every single one of us has been right where you are. When you get your pathology report, ask for a copy and start a file of your own. Also, I took a small, cheap tape recorder with me so I didn't have to take notes. And you will be delighted to know (NOT) that they want YOU to decide what to do? This is goofy, but we all got the same thing. I liked Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book, but read only as far as you need to, the later chapters will only scare you and you won't need them. Post often, we will help all we can. Gentle hugs, Shirlann |

Hi Doreen I know that kicked in the gut feeling, please remember, as someone told me, it is all very do-able. I had my mastectomy almost 4 months ago, and yes it has been hard, but also a unique opportunity to set so many things right. This cloud I believe has many silver linings. And this site is one of them. LOVE SIONA Dx 1/21/2008, IDC, 2cm, Stage II, Grade 1, 1/3 nodes, ER+/PR-, HER2- |
