New Diagnosis

hi there; can definitly relate--ages  ago i worked in palliative care but really didnt conteimplate my own death that much; and once told of diagnosis and probably chemotherapy (not done) i fainted and then later saw myself in a coffin!   I think there is a role for medication --it is difficult to go through treatments and live with a life threatening illness--no matter what the odds- i also found it useful to talk everyday to my partner and gave him coaching not to advise or to fix.  The treatment makes you anxious but waiting for the treatment is worse--and you get on the treadmill and somehow you do get your head around it--and then some days back to familiar fear.  Feeling good about your treatment team is important for me; and also i find these websites useful but also un nerving at times--someone will go 'thankgod i dont have lymph node involvemnt..and i think...i do; at times i find it seems like im in the minority not having chemotherapy so i find some research on the web about this useful for me; 

all the best!
