Breast Cancer Diagnosis Questions to ask

[changingeverything2019]

Consultant appointment tomorrow, it's likely to be bad news.
I'm trying to write a list of questions, as I know I'll go to pieces.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what I need to ask?
I've got so far:

What stage am I at?
Has it spread?
When will treatment start?
Where?
Side effects?
Can I still work?
Any trials I can participate in?
Any advice re lifestyle changes?
Feeling beyond terrified...

When I met with the consultant, and received my diagnosis, I didn't really have to ask any questions. He knew what I would want to know.
He gave all that information just after he gave the diagnosis.
There was also a Nurse specialist sat in the consulting room with us, and, after the consultant appointment, she then took us into another (comfier) room, got us a cup of tea, and went over everything again. She made us feel we could ask anything we wanted and that there was no time limit.
She also gave us leaflets and paperwork.
She also gave us phone numbers so we could call her and her colleagues back later in the day / over the next week / over the next month / over the coming months when there was anything we were thinking about or worrying about or not sure about.

Of course it is a very worrying and scary time, but, firstly it might not be cancer, and if it is, the NHS support for patients living with Cancer is superb.

I was thinking of you yesterday op. How did you get on?

@Cantshakeit ah thank you for thinking of me!
Firstly, it's not cancer.
The biopsy was inconclusive, so had to have another. Then the waiting for that was interminable.
Finally got the all clear after a further, terrifying month.
Had a lovely Christmas, really appreciated everything.
