Welcome to the group Anna. I have just come out the other end of a diagnosis/treatment similar to yours and wanted to encourage you that you have come to the best place possible for support. Feel free to browse past discussions by searching the tabs that apply to you under discussions. There is a wealth of help and support here and no topic is off limits.
I wish you all the best with your treatment. I often say to people going through bc that this will be a Marathon and not a sprint. Be kind to yourself, listen to your body and focus only on the current requirements at hand for today or tomorrow but don't worry about next week or next month or treatments to come etc. Those can go on the virtual shelve until it needs to be dealt with. This way you cope better.
If you have the my journey kit, the same applies. Don't try to read from page 1 through to the last page of the booklet, just open the section of where you are at e.g. chemo and read what is relevant right now. This way you do not overload your brain and emotions with information. We are all in this together. Chin up, you've got this!
