Hi East Mum. I am fairly new also nearly 2 months since diagnosed.. Each and every one of us have a different Journey some have a hard time, but I have found some things help me as everyone is stressed to the Max at the start as we don't know what is ahead of us.
1. Don't Google, go on Breast Cancer site only and look on this Forum as lot of people have similarities. McGrath Breast Cancer Nurses are awesome to talk things through.
2. Tell yourself, I will listen to my Surgeon as he is the one with the knowledge and will put you on your right track for your Journey, also ask him questions and concerns you have when you see him or her, start writing them down and take them when you see them.
3. Sleepless nights are terrible, I now try and I say TRY to tell myself I cant change things so I have to go one day at a time and I try to tell myself before I go to bed what is happening next day not wonder if, as that gets my mind racing.
4. Also when appointments get changed, expect it, it can happen as it does, and then you wont have a meltdown like I did.
I wish you well on your Journey.
