Hearing the word 'cancer' can knock the wind out of you. I know, because I've been there. You don't have to figure this out alone, and you don't have to be strong every minute.
Take a breath, sister.
We're going to walk this with you.
Action items:
- Write your questions down before every appointment — your mind will go blank in the room
- Bring someone with you & record your appointment so you can remember everything discussed.
- Ask for a copy of your pathology report in writing.
- Know that a second opinion is your right, not an insult to your doctor.
- Let The Pink Lady send you a care package — you don't have to ask twice
5 starter questions:
- What subtype of breast cancer do I have, and what stage is it?
- What are all my treatment options, and what do you recommend for me?
- What side effects should I expect, and how will we manage them?
- Will this affect my ability to have children, and is there anything we can do now to protect that?
- Who on my care team can I call when I have questions between visits?
