Hi Tam,
This is the worst time, not knowing enough and waiting for appointments. It helps to keep busy - buy a notebook as your life is about to get very busy as treatment speeds up. Take it with you everywhere and write down appointments, tips, questions, lists to buy, dates, etc. Ask for copies of everything, especially pathology reports, and keep them in a file with all your medical expenses and receipts. (this is a real help at taxtime). Do you have your My Journey pack from BCNA yet? It helps with everything you need to know and tips to get through it all from other pink sisters. We are here for you. Just come online - often! Trust your team - you will get to know them all well, and they are in your corner. Big hug. Michelle x
