I was very matter of fact and knew the plan yet at home a was a sobbing mess as I also knew what could be...and all I could think of was my sons. However I got through and my knowledge helped to ground me (as did this site). However it doesn't for everyone and knowing more can make you worry more. So yep...I was a planner and even had a farewell boobie party the day before I travelled 500k for surgery.
The begininng is very quick with all the tests and scans (I must say I was relieved to see the clear bone scans and CT myself)...chemo does drag on..I hope all goes smoothly for you and we are here to help when you need. Kath x
