Hi, I remember it all happening so fast when I was first diagnosed with cancer. I found it useful to write questions down before I saw my doctor. Get a second opinion if you want to. It was really important for me to focus on cancer treatment being a path to getting better, not making me sick. I remember sitting on my bed after being told I needed a mastectomy and not being able to breathe, I was so stressed. When I took control of the situation, it was easier to cope with surgery and the treatment that followed it. Thinking of you, the early days are the most difficult.
