Newly diagnosed, now waiting, doesn’t feel real

Hi @SarahW8
I liken the receipt of a cancer diagnosis to a bit like hearing the news of the death of a loved one - it is the death of your formerly bulletproof self.
you will go through all the stages of grief - shock , denial, anger and finally acceptance.
You will get through this, one step at a time, keep busy, try not to over think it or look at Dr Google , and it’s ok to cry .
