Hi Debbie,
Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I just recently had surgery(2nd May) and was diagnosed around 28th March.
It's not easy and no amount of words can help ease the pain and fear. It's actually harder on family and friends around you as they don't know what to do or say either. They feel totally helpless. I found that you have to be your own medicine and not rely too much on other people whether they be family or friends. If you keep positive and believe that you will be the winner in this then it makes it so much easier to cope.
I wish you lots of luck on this journey and always remember that you are not alone. There are plenty, not only on this network, but outside in the real world too that are going through the same thing as you. Also remember that we are all unique and cope in many different ways, but someone somewhere is going through the exact same thing as yourself.
All the best and please keep smiling. xx
