If you haven't contacted you local McGrath nurse you should, they have been wonderful throughout my treatment with help and advice. You should also take someone with you to your appointments if you can. The information can be overwhelming at times and an extra set of ears can be helpful.
There will be lots of tests and appointments between diagnosis and when you start your treatment, which is normal, it can also be overwhelming and pretty fast paced, so don't forget to breath and ask lots of questions if you need to.
Once you get your treatment plan things settle down and become more routine.
Best wishes for your treatment journey. Katie
