There is also a wealth of info on the BCNA website .
I found the emotional toll of the diagnosis as challenging as the physical toll - I saw a psychologist specialising in cancer related distress for a couple of sessions and that helped.

Take care , avoid “ Dr Google” and feel free to post on here any time and you will find the advice and support a great asset.
