Hi Fiona - boy it is a big shock hey. And this site is fantastic. Order a my journey kit, it is very good. Make a dentist appointment, mouth health is important during chemo. A lot of people continue working throughout with minimal time off and I agree it is way better than sitting home worrying. Have a trusted person with you on the oncology visit, so much info in such a short period - two brains can even find it hard. Friends and loved ones are in shock too, maybe get them to clean something in the house while they are commiserating hey. Chemo is not nice, but it is not as bad as you might think.
Also be prepared to meet a lot of very caring happy people, nurses (they are fantastic), patients, Doctors. It is not all bad.
Keep well Pam
