Just diagnosed but cannot even contact a surgeon until 9th January. Stress levels high.

Thanks @Unicornkisses really need that hug right now.

 One daughter is coming with me and the other daughter who has to work volunteered her partner to mind her sister's children so she can come. They are trying to be supportive but know they are struggling to. Unfortunately don't have a partner to share this journey with, do have a good friend who has been offering what support he can by phoning each day but he lives over 100 km away. The nights are hardest when everyone has their own lives and you have only time to think.
