I agree to not telling children yet. I kept my diagnosis private (only close friends and sister) till I had chemo and hair fell out. Very obvious then. I had Stage 2 estrogen positive cancer, it had spread to few lymph nodes.

My sister had stage 0 and her treatment was remove lump and then estrogen suppression drugs. She was in her 60s.

Every treatment plan is tailored to individual based on many factors; type cancer, age, medical / family history, pre or post menopausal, etc...

If possible, you may want to record your phone call so can re-listen to later.

That’s what I was thinking earlier, might be better if I record the appointments. My husband wanted to have my sister in law come with us (she’s an oncology nurse) but I don’t want to burden her (taking the day off from work for me). Recording the appointment would be the best idea. Thanks again Laurie!
