@Jazz26 It's good to hear that you have a couple of appointments now, I think having some direction helps with it all. I too attended my Oncologists 1st appointment alone and sat in my car incredibly distraught for a little while. I've always done majority of my appointments alone, only because I found it easier strangely as I didnt have to worry about how they were coping.
So wonderful to hear of your supportive partner, I was only 6 months into a new relationship when I had my 2nd diagnosis, it was super tough, but he's been a rock and with me for 3yrs now :)
So hold tight, a step at a time, and breathe, keep us in the loop how your appts go. Hugs Melinda xo
