Hi @JodieMaree
Freaking out is normal!
The best advice my GP gave me when delivering my BC diagnosis was to take a trusted person to all important medical appointment to have another set of ears.
I took my hubby who luckily was retired and this worked well.
There were funny moments like when the plastic surgeon showed us the various implants and then took me behind the curtain to examine me.
Hubby said he was dying to feel the various implants but was worried he might be caught and look like a pervert!
I had mastectomy as my cancer was so big but it all depends in your situation.
Everyone is different but we all have a certain commonality.
This website and forum is a great resource.
The emotional impact of this diagnosis is just as important as the physical stuff.
I found the Charlotte Tottman podcasts on here very helpful .
Take care🌺
