Hi @Lisa50 - welcome to the site - the club that nobody wants to join but all of it's members are so special !
Swearing is the easy part - swear like a trooper if you must. Cry, stamp your feet, punch some pillows - whatever makes you feel better. This is such a huge shock. It does not matter that you keep saying you know you are lucky - it is still like somebody has knocked the wind out of your sails.
Unfortunately part of being diagnosed with bc means that you hear all kinds of platitudes and phrases - journey (oldie but a goody).

My best wishes to you and your family for a Merry Christmas. You may not feel like celebrating as you have this hanging over you but all family celebrations are special.
Regards
