Forum Discussion
Sorry to see you join our select little group here, @SarahB77 - but you are in the right spot for support & a place to ask questions and/or vent, when needed xx. Remember, there are NO silly questions & we'll do our best to help you with answers.
If you'd like to delve more into the forum, we have HEAPS of subjects (even OUTSIDE of BC) that we natter on about as well ..... even 'funny stuff' as well as the more serious stuff - as we all need a laugh now & then .... and we chat about our pets, gardens, art & craft & anything else that you may think of!
There are also a link to some 'tick sheets' down the bottom that you can fill in to take with you to your appointments to give to your team, indicating your physical & mental well being - sometimes it is easier to give them a paper copy on how you are coping, than to talk about it at the time when you may be feeling emotional .... and also info on what to take to hospital with you as well further down the track ...

Take care with your appointments next week - consider recording all your early appointments on your phone (including your pathology results) as it is easy to 'miss bits' in the emotions of the moment - and this way, you can go over it later, if you need to.
Wishing you all the best.
