Hi @Erko_Girl_68
Great advice above
My GP picked me in one when delivering the news of my BC “ the hardest thing will be the lack of control “.

The rational you will come to understand most women get through this on the other side , but the emotional you may have the odd wobble.
See a psychologist or counsellor if you need to ( I found it helped).
And though I had my treatment in the private system my fabulous Drs also operate in the public system and we are lucky to live in a country with such great public health care .
Take care 🌺
