Mandy,
Have been wondering how you got on today, you must be pretty shell-shocked.
But stay positive--my friend's daughter was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer at age 17 and given 2 years maximum to live--she's now 33 and planning on having babies!!
Would it be any help if I got her email address for you?
Have they said why it will be 3 weeks before treatment begins?? Even for England, that sounds like a long time if she doesn't have to heal from surgery--and takes us very close to Christmas!
I've read Hayley's Blog, what a girl! and although I've now lost the details, I was once in contact with a young woman who had Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and set up her own website called something like TheFurryMonkey.
I have you both in my thoughts,
Brenda
