and the journey continues

I just had a call from the breast clinic. I was discussed in the MDT meeting this morning and I now have a face to face on Friday. I'm so stressed!

they do like to keep you waiting …..

However, discussion in MDT and agreement is a very very good thing. Some years ago the different specialities used to work in isolation and not talk to each other, meaning you could easily fall through a crack in the floor.

On that point: Naturally you are stressed. I hope you will take with you someone close, who can listen as well -:four ears better than two - and maybe take notes. It’s hard to take it all in. The team are of course used to their patients being stressed.

I wish you all the best.

Thank you for your kind words and support. I'm not sure I will take someone along with me.I have a dear friend, who helped me through my bypass surgery and recovery. My thoughts are I know she will continue to support me but I am also conscious that my new diagnosis is also a lot for her to handle.

and might she be offended if you didn't ask her?

[LindaLittleBear in reply to Happyrosie]

I'm sure she wouldn't be offended. xx
