Newly Diagnosed & Struggling
Hi, I am 46 as was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma last week with a dodgy lymph node biopsied today. It's been quite overwhelming at times, surgery later this week and my journey will begin. Unfortunately cancer is not a new journey to my family, my son was diagnosed with brain cancer less than three years ago at age 9. He is going well but still requires regular hospital trips and care himself & quite honestly I don't know how to cope with everything. My focus has always been on helping his journey. I'm not sure really what I'm asking here, it would be great to hear from anyone who's had any sort of similar experience or strategies to help me get through this, be there for my son, maintain some semblance of work & of course be there for my other son & a very supportive husband for which I am very thankful.
