I am scared

Hi and welcome to the network. I would describe my first days after my diagnosis like walking through a fog, with so many tests, appointments, conversations and decisions to make. Then trying to counsel my family and friends who were also distressed. You are allowed to be scared, that's normal. You're allowed to cry, that's better than holding it in. Breast cancer is one of the more successfully treated cancers and you are in good hands. Write things down in a diary, take your questions for appointments on a notepad so you can look back and process the information. Take a support person with you to your appointments, they will help you absorb and remember what is happening for you. Keep coming back to this site, everyone is awesome here and will give you advice and support along the way. I went onto sick leave initially, then holiday leave. I took that time to make my decision about work, and ended up resigning, so that I could concentrate on my treatment. My workplace was very supportive along the way, and I know of some ladies who have negotiated part time hours with their employers, so have a chat with your employer about your options. Sending you a big cuddle, Trace ??
