Hi Molly001, Its perfectly normal at this point (and many others) to be scared stupid!!! It does get better. At this point The Unknown is your ruler. Once you have seen your specialist and have a timeframe in place for surgery then you start the waiting game. That's hard too! But in the meantime, you can read up about surgeries, resources for helping with your kids (Telling your children). At the moment you're in shock - once you get through the shock then you'll get determined!!!! And then look out - you'll discover a fierce fighter within yourself that will amaze you. Let us know when your appointment with your specialist is, and there is no shame in being scared, fearful and needing to cry, talk, vent and scream. We get it and are here for you. You can and will do this. Xx Cath
