Hi! take your time! The My Journey Kit is a wonderful resource however it is for reading in small sections once perhaps you know a little more about where you are at and pathology results and subsequent treatment. Within is an opportunity to keep a diary, tabs on medical appointments, another for the costs et cetera
On this site there are great resources, like what to pack for hospital, https://www.reclaimyourcurves.org.au/information-sheets.html
as well as defined groups, like Young Women or Choosing Breast Reconstruction and others, dependent on where you are at which may suit you!
There is always someone on line any time of day or night so search around or put up a post like you've done here and someone will respond.
Easier said than done but try and take a few deep breaths and concentrate on now. The what if, how, what, went, where can't be answered definitively. Try and keep yourself busy for yourself, even if it is stocking up the freezer with meals or sitting out on the verandah enjoy a sip of something..................just me time to soak up where you are at! the most important thing is that it has been detected and you are on the road to having it fixed.
Take care
