Hi, Tink. Am I right if you're going to the Kim Walters Choices Program...at the Wesley... you must be in Brisbane? If so, there's a fantastic Cancer Council Helpline (13 11 20) that you can call any time. As well as counselling offered on the phone, they provide deeper help with their counsellors at their headquarters on Gregory Terrace.
They will also take your details & match you up with a volunteer who's been thro' a similar experienced to you... and who will phone you to talk thro' how you're going. I did this when I got my early diagnosis & the person they paired me with was brilliantly helpful. I'll always be grateful to that person... who was in Melbourne. As it's done by phone, the match can be interstate.... the emphasis is on having something in common & the volunteer has been thro' it.
By coincidence, I also have two much loved little dogs... & I know I worried tremendously about the impact of my treatment and its consequences on them. Please, if you want to talk more about them... I'm happy to do so.
