Beautiful woman, we completely understand that numb feeling of disbelief that is overwhelming. I want to encourage you today and say that every thought and feeling you are having is normal for your circumstances and I want to promise you that although it might take some time, you will find a way of dealing with the situation which at present is probably too big to comprehend. In the beginning we all look at our diagnosis in its enormity and because of our limited knowledge we are left hopeless and fearful. Your team of surgeons, specialists and nurses and our beautiful network community online is here for you every step of the way. You will soon be able to focus more on dealing with each situation individually as they occur and feel more empowered when you have all the information about treatment etc. I think the unknown is what is the worst for us all, and once we are given some facts and information we feel armed with that info and we feel more at ease. Just keep coming to the network if you have questions or need a shoulder. Take one day at a time, one step at a time and only focus on this day's challenge and let everything else sit on the virtual shelve until time comes to deal with that part of treatment.
Wishing you all the best and giving you a massive hug xxx
