@Ginamae Write down your questions for the consultation, and it's a good idea to take someone with you to your consultation (that perfect partner sounds ideal! - or a woman friend), and also ask if you can record it.

This time - waiting for your appointment - is a good time for lots of walks - good for your body in preparing for treatment, but also stress-relieving and triggers reflection. Take a notebook or phone to record questions that come to your mind while you're walking. Keep asking questions until you understand. Don't allow yourself to be pressured into anything you're not comfortable with. Ask for a phone number you can use - or email address - for questions that occur to you in the days after your consultation. All the best.
