Overwhelmed and alone

November 6th I sat in a doctors surgery and had a piece of paper sat down in front of me, "here read this, it's a little different than we expected" I could not understand any of it but my eyes went to the bold print MALIGNANT 5.5mm Phyllodes tumour, and everything since that day has blurred, rushed surgery, medication, and today I realise the enormity of the way my life will now be. Hard to even type without crying, it's all I do.
