I would expect that there will be discussions about your specific cancer, and of course recommendations for a treatment plan. I have found that a second set of ears, a recording cell phone and an ask for printouts to be very helpful. It is hard to find out you have cancer but the shock not happening at the same time as information gathering is helpful, I think. When I got the news, it was quite shocking even though deep down, I think I knew. I pretty much did not hear another word of our meeting. My brain had already raced ahead to what if, and oh no!
Have you thought about a list of questions for your doctor?

I did know deep down, but still a shock. Last Friday was a day of depression for me and could cry at the drop of a hat. My husband and I were meeting friends for dinner. I told him on the way about my day and that I was on the verge of crying at any moment. He asked, “why”. I about lost it as in wanted to burst into tears, but didn’t. At the same time I realize he can’t understand how I’m feeling. My husband is going with me to my appointments a week from tomorrow. I had thought about recording the conversation at the doctor’s office, but not sure if it will be allowed. I have actually started a list of questions, but I’m not even sure what to even ask at this point. I also know the conversation will prompt other questions. I’m not sure we’ll be able to think well enough to even know what to ask at the time.

I feel so fatigued sometimes. Is this normal? Even before I found out I have breast cancer I felt fatigued, but worse now.
