Hi @ruralmum2
You will find that on this journey some friends and relatives may not be there the way you expected, but others will step up to the plate and even surprise you.
Apart from my husband who has been an absolute rock, I have a friend who is a retired nurse has been my saviour - she is born to care and provides emotional and practical support .
I have also met some great buddies on this forum .
On another front , I was saying to my McGrath Breast care nurse that I could never be a medical professional as I hated needles and blood and couldn’t handle smells of bodily waste fluids etc.
She said that was a huge bonus in her role!
Take care 🌺
