Hi ScoilteMc

Sorry to hear that your sister has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Questions to ask are as follows: What type of breast cancer do I have?, What type of treatment do I need? Are there other treatment options?, What side effects will I get?, How long will my treatment take? Is there anything I should be eating? When will I have surgery and what type of surgery will I have? Can I do anything to help myself during treatment?.

Wishing your sister the best of luck as she goes through treatment and yourself as you support her.

Best wishes
