SO sorry to see you here, @colthul - to the club that no-one ever wants to join! @Cath62 has pretty well covered it all beautifully ... and agree that keeping busy in between appointments etc is the way to go .... I hope you have someone to take with you to your appointments as a 2nd set of ears too, for support and maybe even act as a driver! I recorded all my early appointments too, as it is easy to miss bits when under a bit of stress. My BC was invasive too (you can read my story on my profile), but was caught early & I dodged the chemo bullet, just having surgery & rads & tabs ......
Where abouts are you? (City/Town). You can add this to your profile - it can be comforting to find members nearby who, in non-covid times, you could meet up for a coffee & a chat. Many of us have made wonderful friends on the forum, even from interstate. Terrific that your hubby will be back on the weekend xx
Remember to breath ..... and just take one day at a time & DON'T use Dr Google as so much of the info is irrelevant to your condition & every BC is treated differently too. Put your trust in your Medical Team .... they will be discussing your options after your surgery/full biopsy results are in - and will be wanting the very best outcome for you .... so time to pull the big girl pants on .... wishing you all the best. xx
Check out my post here - it covers a lot of info on the blog for 'newbies' & @iserbrown has added some more links as well .....
