Hi BroniD
I was diagnosed the day before you and feeling like I’m two different people at the moment. Trying to portray a positive self as I tell family and work colleagues (so people don’t get scared), yet being so scared myself. Am booked in for surgery Wednesday. This has all moved so fast in two days. The most confronting thing was when I was answering the hospital pre-admission questions I always just say ‘no’ to all the ones like “Do you have heart disease, diabetes, epilepsy etc.” The last question was “Do you have cancer?” I automatically ticked no, then had to change my answer. That was hard. I’m here to walk beside you if you need me.
