Hi Aussie,
It is a shocking time to go through. Lots of questions, uncertainty, anxiety, shock and fear all happening at the same time. You will work your way through all of the stress, you will get your answers, it will take time. First and foremost you need to be able to find something to de-stress whether it's a hobby, meditation, exercise - whatever it is, hopefully something you enjoy doing so that you can actually take in the information that is given to you. If possible take someone to your appointments with you so that they can make notes and provide a second set of ears to conversations and write down any questions or worries that you have so you don't forget to ask them when you are at those appointments. You have already done one of the best things you can possibly do by joining this network. Soooo much experience, knowledge, information and compassion from the ladies on this site who very generously share their own journey's and provide support wherever they can. Please utilise this site - it does help!! All the best Xx Cath
