So sorry to see you joining us here, @Beatha ..... Yes, feeling anxious, emotional and even scared are totally normal reactions to a BC diagnosis and we've all felt that. If it feels a tad overwhelming, have a listen to Charlotte Tottman's podcasts on her BC journey .... she is a specialist BC Counsellor who was diagnosed 5+ years ago & was surprised that her own reaction to the diagnosis was different to what she'd been suggesting to her clients .... They are VERY easy to listen to & will reassure you that what you are going thru is totally normal xx. She has done 2 'seasons' ... listen to the 1st season first.
