Sorry to see you here @RozMoz - we are here to help you get thru it. This 'initial waiting time' after diagnosis is the pits & is such a horrible time - just try & keep as busy as you can in the lead up to surgery, doing what you love doing to try & keep your mind as busy as your body. Believe it or not - it WILL feel so much easier once you've had your surgery & results. (I was actually AMAZED at how 'relatively unaffected' I was following the surgery too, just discomfort really!) Then you will have your plan of attack & know what is going on ahead.
Ask any question you like & you'll get straight up answers from those who've gone before you. There are no silly questions.
Same as @shs14, I kept everyone informed with Emails - it just made it so much easier. People will still email you individually & you can choose whether to reply individually - or just send out a regular 'everyone' email.
Where abouts are you (Town/State) as our members may well know of support services in the area that may be of assistance to you. You can edit your profile to show your general location.
Go with the flow - there will be rage, anger, tears - just let it flow - and then finally a 'sort of acceptance' that you just need to get on with it.
All the best, take care xx
