Hi @GavinCh Sorry you have to be on this site but you will find a bunch of people who just get it and as everyone has said if you have any questions just fire away. When I was diagnosed last April I just wanted to hibernate to deal with my emotions. It is the worst time knowing you have BC but not sure what type, what stage and the waiting game just sucks. Your mind goes into overdrive thinking of all the worst case scenarios.
I agree with the others and save a lovely cruise until once all treatment has finished. It will be a godsend but in the mean time just go with how your wife is feeling on the day. It truly is a roller coaster. For me there was days I just wanted to hide under the doona with a good book or days I got out and did some exercise while I was waiting.
Generally once a plan is formulated by the BC team it takes a little pressure off in regards to being able to concentrate on a set plan moving forward. I like "Sister" was a bit of a stalker until I eventually posted but have found that whatever question or concern I had there is always some one who has travelled the same road before me or with me. If you have looked at some of the threads here you will see a bit of black humour helps us along the way.
Hope all goes well and just be prepared that plans can change as more results start to come through.
