Welcome Cal-Gal to the club that no one wants to join, but we are glad you found us.
You will find a great group of gals and guys here, with lots of information and support.

The diagnosis is often very shocking. I had a clean mammogram and breast ultrasound in July 2006, had a breast reduction in Oct. 2006 - my plastic surgeon found my tumour. Talk about utter disbelief.

But you will get through it, sorry about your job struggles which of course does not help.

all the best
