Hi Shelley,
I’m glad you found BCNA and the Online Network - it looks like @arpie has
already warmly welcomed you and hopefully you will get a lot from everyone, who
will know exactly how you’re feeling!
In the meantime, I thought I would share some links that may
help you ‘right now’ and help focus on what you can control:
Work and breast cancer – It sounds like you have already
told your employer, which for some can be the hardest part but here you might
find some helpful information - https://myjourney.org.au/article/2388
Managing that stress – Is this article there are some good
tips for managing stress and practicing some mindfulness, especially while you
wait for your results - https://myjourney.org.au/article/3518
Upfront about Breast Cancer with Dr Charlotte Tottman:- I also found these podcasts a
great resource (when you are sick of reading) and you can hear real stories and take
away tips from those who have had their own breast cancer experience - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/upfront-about-breast-cancer/id1466202281
I hope these links help is some way!
PS - I now have a
visual of that Magpie going up and down and all over the place but I hope it
will settle on a branch and take a moment for you shortly!
