Thank you so much, @Cath62 for taking the time to respond to my post.
In answer to your questions: yes, I have early breast cancer, grade 3, triple negative.

Iso is harder now as I am feeling fine, husband has remained unscathed thus far. We can still talk from a distance but I think each of us could do with a hug. We live in a house and I have been spending my time in the "Covid Caves" aka our bedroom & the study at the front of the house, while hubby has the rest of the house and sleeping in the spare bed.
As yet, we are to rally our support team. As we want to tell our dearest & nearest in person, the only person we have informed so far, is our son, which (again, rotten timing) relocated to Canada last week :'( Which is probably why I have reached out on this platform for support so early in the piece.
I'm not a big one on tv and have been reading more than usual. I am keeping up with some exercise and yoga. Both of which are very important to me.
I am on day 5 of iso so should be able to get out after the weekend. Then the task of telling people - which I haven't even wanted to think about yet..... any tips on this would be very welcome.
Thanks again, I am very grateful :)
