https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/I-ve-just-been-diagnosed/new-to-this/m-p/6393#M403 thankyou for your lovely support. i read your message before I went to have the injections and it made me realise it was only one step on a long road - and i could get through it. I have so many postive comments and a phone call today from survivors i know now it is possible and it is ok to feel bad at times. Still got a smile!

It has not spread yet and i am having a masectomy in two days. I am not looking forward to the blue dye injection - any suggestions?

I remember feeling panicked for a moment and then it was over. Best wishes for your surgery.
