Hi Livo, sorry to see you here but you have come to the right place for support as we all know what you are going through and how you are feeling.
What state are you in ? as other people will be able to help guide you with what is available to you, I’m here in SA.
I was also diagnosed in October last year with Triple Negative Breast Cancer, surgery, chemo and radiotherapy, I’m currently in the middle of treatment.
A positive mind is the best thing you can do for yourself, take one day at a time.
Other people may jump on here with the same diagnosis’s also.
When I was first diagnosed I attended a Meditation and Mindfulness course which was of great benefit, especially during the waiting game.
Im happy to have a chat to you anytime if you want to send me a private message.
Thats great news that you have a good network of family and friends to help you get through this stage of your life.
As suggested above start writing down any questions you may have and take someone with you to all appointments as it is a lot to absorb.
Having access to a breast cancer nurse is a bonus as they can help you through this and offer great advice and point you in the right direction for other services including Psychologists, any support groups in your area.
Ask away any questions, even if you just want to vent someone will always be here.
Sending hugs your way
xoxo
