Like many others, here I am joining this not-so-sought-after club- and feeling very much like a tiny inflatable boat in a stormy sea. I‘be just been diagnosed this week, although the process has be...

Hi @RiotAtMidnight,
Great advice from everyone. It is a massive roller-coaster ride but you sound like you have all the skills and the right attitude to get through it. This group is so supportive and there is no judgement here which is great.
I have some experience in balancing many things in very hard times however if you can put yourself first during treatment that would be a bonus for you. Actually you must put yourself first in this as you are the most important person in all this.
My medical team all suggested to me that if I could exercise during treatment above all else it would help me get through it and it did. I didn't work at that time and I had a very supportive husband to help me too.
What support do you have for helping at home or in your business? Can you draw on that support? Many people asked what I needed so if you have people who ask you what you need, don't hesitate to let them know. This is the time to make yourself the number one priority. Do whatever you need to get through it all. It may not mean letting your business go but without knowing what your business is it is hard to advise on that.
It can be overwhelming all this stuff. Consider mindfulness, mediation, nutrition, exercise and support including counselling. You will make it through it all. I have had surgery, chemo, radium and now the hormone suppression and i sm doing well. I have one more surgery next month but all good.
Btw I really like your name riotatmidnight. That's how it is sometimes in this. Take care and let us know how it all goes. Sending you a hug 🌷
