I was told yesterday

Hi Georgie - you are going through the worst time emotionally - it takes a while for it to sink in but do take your husband or other support person to all your appointments as its so hard to take everything in. Its difficult, but you have to put your trust in the medicos you will be dealing with, make sure he/she is a good one, and just go with it. I was diagnosed in November last year and for the first few days kept wondering when I was going to wake up from this bad dream. That first week, the tests and the diagnosis, was really the worst time,but then you get going with treatment and it feels good to be doing something. Like Julia said, this is just a hiccup in your life, things will return to normal one day, just look after yourself and get involved in a support group and/or this site, its a great help. Any questions, just post them, someone will be able to answer or lend a sympathetic ear!

Good luck Georgie with the diagnosis and treatment.

Julie
