Hi there @hays...I'm so sorry you've found yourself on the other side of the bed and now a member of our 'not so special' group. I suppose it's a bit like for a pregnant woman...for a first timer, she's scared because she doesn't know what to expect in labour, and for a second (or more) time mother...she's scared because she knows exactly what she's in for. I won't cover it in pale pink icing...it's no cake walk, but it's manageable. Initially, until a firm plan is sorted out by your medical team, it can be the case that Monday, it's this...and then Tuesday, it's that, but that is what frequently happens. Try to avoid DR Google as a lot of what's on some sites is outdated as are the statistics, and statistics are just that, numbers, and nobody knows which side of the numbers they will fall on. Trust your oncologist...this is their bread and butter and it's a beastie they know well...in all its forms. Other members will hop on with more nuts and bolts advise, but I just wanted to say hello and we in this group understand the way you feel Big (((hug)))..Ally.
