Everything about breast cancer sounds awful; the language is scientific which can be incredibly daunting when you first start hearing it.
The first couple of weeks are terrible. Part of the problem is understanding and remembering what you are being told. Learn to hit the 'reset' button and make your team explain things again (and again if necessary) until the picture starts to make sense. Don't get too fixated on small details to start with, get your head around the larger situation that you have been dropped into.
Do not google. You need specific advice about your own personal version of the disease. You can only get that from the people with direct access to your results. All right, we all google, but make sure you know exactly what you are looking for. That takes some time.
We can help with many things, but you need to get information directly from your specialists. Good luck. Marg xx
