Newly Diagnosed
Hi all I am newly diagnosed, booked in for surgery on Tuesday next week and feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Forum Discussion
@Beckii1, it is totally overwhelming at the start. So much information to process. Try to take it step by step. Hard as it is stay away from Google. The other ladies have given good advice above.
I would add it's to cry, be sad, angry or whatever about all this. I found it helpful to talk to a psychologist after my surgery, during my chemo treatment. I went a couple of times to help me process it all. I hope you have some good support. I had my son and husband who were amazing for me. I did find a couple of people who really weren't helpful so I chose not to see them.
Take big breaths and keep busy as it really does help. Get some exercise like walking as it will help you be fitter for surgery. I took up meditation too and found that so helpful. We are all different so just do what makes you happy.
You will get through this. You are stronger than you think. We all are. Take one day at a time. Big hugs x
