I think most of us had a bit of a cleaning/organizing frenzy when diagnosed. It is partly just to keep going, keep busy and keep your mind off the topic of cancer but also I felt a compulsion to get as much done as possible before surgery/treatment. Keeping physically busy seemed to work because anytime I tried to read or even watch TV my mind kept wandering back to what ifs etc.
That lack of concentration lasts for quite a while. I am glad that your husband is going with you to your appointment as it is really difficult to listen and take in all the info. My doctor wrote down the main points for us and even gave us her email address in case we had questions afterwards. We did and she was very quick to respond with the answers. She reassured us that it was ok to ask about anything we were unsure of. Hope it goes as well as possible tomorrow. Take care. Deanne xx
