Hi @Nattyv63
I also have kept a journal and found it really helpful.
I found once I started treatment I calmed down a lot ( although of course I worked myself into a bit of a state before each scan and before surgery).
I didn’t tell many people in the beginning and I did have a bit of counselling in the beginning which helped.
I did find the resources on this website really helpful including this forum , because we have all been there in one way or another.
Although I didn’t have chemo, I did have radiotherapy and ended up having a double mastectomy and am now on hormone therapy for at least 5 years., I finished my radiotherapy almost exactly 12 months ago and am in a much better headspace now.
Take it one step at a time.
