Absolutely normal... We have all been there.
Just wait and see what they reccomend as treatment as they will take your best interest at heart.
I am 2nd i to 4 Chemo sessions and same as you I want to have it but I must say it is a tough one as it is a full.on assault on your body and comes with serious risks of permanent damage to various organs - and some even with a later risk of developing other cancers such as leukemia.
If they reccomend Chemo it is because it is the best course of treatment for you. But if they do not that too is because they have your long term best interest at heart for your particular case.
Before you go for the next consult write down all your questions and concerns and make sure you show your list to the Dr and have them answer every single question. It really best to have things written down as the ones we have in the head often slide as another is discussed.
Again, yes totally understandable to be worried and even to question the medical profession but along the same lines do remember they have your particular case and your best outcome at heart.
Also a great thing to do is to get in touch with tour local breast care nurse and voice tour worries and concerns to her. She will both help you understand your diagnosis better and can also act as your advicate in this whole process and liaise with the relevant medical professionals involved in your treatment.
And just hang in there as it gets clearer soon.
