Welcome @Charliwillow to the club no-one thought about joining.
As has been said, you have a lot to think about but no doubt you have plenty of support re your CP and they should be able to tap into BC supports for you.

One thing is for sure - ask, ask, ask. No question is too small or too silly and you need to be your own advocate much of the time.
