Hi, everyone.

I'm new to these parts and I wanted to stop in and introduce myself. Upgrade from lurker to participant, if you will. Diagnosed April 15 by my BS after going to my PCP with an area of concern, and met with my MO last week. I have an appointment with my BS again tomorrow morning, since we finally got my HER2 status. I don't really have any questions yet; I just wanted to say thank you to you all for being here. I found this forum the night I was diagnosed, and it's already helped me so much. I'm not a fan of this limbo between initial diagnosis and getting anything done. I've been in a constant state of freak out for over a week.

    BlueFelt - sorry to have to welcome you but glad you found us. Yes, this is the worst time. Once you have the final diagnosis and treatment plan set up, you will get some relief. Hang in there.

    I just wanted to say hello. I was also just diagnosed this month as well. It's good to have some company on this roller coaster ride I never bought a ticket for. Best wishes.

    Hi sweetie

    I found this forum the day I was diagnosed and it has been such a blessing! The covid19 has definitely added to the anxiety of all of this, and as everyone has said here, moving forward and a plan in place definitely is a comfort and a help to the psyche!

    Hoping you get more helpful info from your BS appointment. Keep us posted...

    MinusTwo: Thanks.It's nice to hear there really will be some relief down the road. I feel like I often do at work: hurry up and wait.

    EMSMama: Hello to you, too. That's such a good way to put it -- a roller coaster ride we've been forced onto. Looks like we have similar dxs.

    toria: Thanks for the kind words. Funny, I kind of thought there would be a complete plan, but it feels like baby steps. And not big baby steps, but itty bitty ones. "We'll do this, and if this next test comes back this way, then we'll do that." It's making me crazy.

    Thanks to all of you for the kind welcome.
