Hi @Pommy8 , welcome to the online network.
There is a lot of support on here and no question is too trivial or silly - we have all been there one way or another.
There is a lot of useful information on this website - it’s a lot to take in and I am still discovering stuff.
I agree with what has been said above about taking someone to important medical appointments as you won’t take everything in .
I took my husband and that was really helpful as he remembered so much I didn’t .
I also kept a journal to keep a record of test results etc but also to write down my feelings and that helped me a lot.
But whatever works for you .
I also tried to keep busy in the lead up to getting test results and having my surgery - as A every one says the waiting is very stressful.
Ince I had my surgery I was in a much better headspace.
Take care.🌺
