You are now one out of every nine women in Canada with Breast Cancer. But what now?
First of all, get a second opinion!
Then, get a third!Seriously! Doctors are just people. They don’t know everything, and they certainly don’t know YOU! Get some opinions so that you can triangulate the information.
Then sit down, have a glass or two of red wine and relax. YES! Nothing, not ONE little thing, has to be done right this minute! You have weeks and months to figure things out. There is no need to rush.
Don’t let anyone push you into something that you don’t want to do or don’t understand. Get all the information you can before you make a decision. And it is YOU who gets to make that decision.
You are going to need a team:
* people to support you emotionally - partner/family/girlfriends/surviors
* people to do things for you - friends/neighbours/community
* people to give/get you information - naturopaths/nutritionists/library/internet
* people to carry out your wishes - surgeons/naturopaths/massage therapists
