Hi @Ildiko and welcome. We are here and listening. Anything you would like to know ask away. Have you ordered your My Care kit as yet? Link below

We all feel shock after diagnoses and your head is in a spin with the information. Try and take someone to your appointments, not only for support but remembering information. Write down questions you might have. Write down info given as it's easy to forget later what was said. Keep copies of pathology tests etc. I bought one of those squeeze box type files to put everything in. Info on chemo. .. On surgery... On exercises.... Pathology.... Bills. It all went in the box. One day I hope to burn the darn thing.
Take any business cards offered as it has contact information so you can ask questions later.
Take care. No question is stupid or too personal here...remember that. Kath x
