Hi there
Good you have found your way here, there is an amazing wealth of material on this website and you can search topics on this forum ( you will see there are recurring themes).
We all on this forum “ get it” in a way someone who has not had breast cancer never can truly get.
No question is ever too silly or trivial on here.
I am 18 months post diagnosis and had double mastectomy, radiotherapy , reconstruction and am now on hormone therapy.
The first few weeks after diagnosis are the most terrifying as you don’t really know what you are dealing with and you are still in shock.
I also remember waiting for the petscan thinking the worst, that was one of my darkest days even though my Dr said “ it’s just for abundant caution”.
Take it one day at a time, try not to over think things and remember we are all here to support you.
And stay away from “ Dr Google”.
Take care.
