Newly Diagnosed

@Beckii1, of course you are overwhelmed.  We all have been there.  But welcome to the site, where there is a wealth of information, and no question is foolish.  If you write more detail of your diagnosis, and the treatment planned, I’m sure people will come forward to share their knowledge and experience.  The advice above is good: take a backup person (or record the consultation on your phone).  I keep quite detailed records, too, as it quickly becomes hard to remember everything. Everyone’s situation is different: are you young or…ah, like me?  Do you have a job? Do you live alone?  Do you have dependent kids?  Or caring responsibilities?  All create different problems, but there is usually help.  This is the time to accept it gratefully.
