HI @Klp
Such a shame you have to be here lovley but you will find so much support, warmth and information from everybody.
What you're feeling is utterly and completely normal. There is nothing in the world that can prepare you to be told you have cancer. It's a white hot fear of despair and cloudy fog of doom.
My diagnosis was Friday , the M word was on the pathology, I knew it was all through the nodes at the beginning as well. I Dr googled far too much and had my funeral songs planned by Saturday. True story.
For some reason our brains like to conjure up the absolute worst case scenario it can possibly think of.
But guess what? Surgery, chemo, rads and three years later here I am. There are many many of us way down the road we never thought we would have to travel.
Fantastic news that your CT is clear and fingers crossed for you bone scan to be the same. Waiting for those results was the longest 48 hrs of my life. Once you're plan is in place you feel a little more in control. Ask a zillion questions and don't stop until you have all the information you need. It's very easy to get swept along through this thing.
You don't feel like it now but you are stronger than you ever thought possible. One step at at a time sweet. You got this. And we've got you.
