Hello @JenPritchard
Welcome to this wonderful supportive forum. None of us ever expected to get BC but we have and we cope, as you will.
@SoldierCrab has given you a heap of information above so do follow it up, especially joining the group for young women.
No doubt some will see your post and be in touch to support you. There is always someone online who can answer questions and ''listen'' to your vents with compassion.

You are in our thoughts as you begin the road ahead - but you are a woman and you are stronger than you think !
