Dear Hopeful,
the waiting is the hardest part, you get to despise it more than the cancer but you will gain strength over the next period in your life you didn't know you had.
The scared and stressed out person was me just 2 1/2 months ago, when the ball starts rolling with surgery and treatments you will gain confidence in yourself to deal with your situation, there will always be doubts, anger, confusion, stress and sadness but you will learn how to best deal with these situations and get to know yourself a whole lot more, I hope it all goes well for you ,
Regards, Cheryl
