I don't know if you have already seen the surgeon,but it is a good idea to take someone with you if you can,because they will most likely hear more than you! It is such a stressful time,but believe me,it does get better,and as you find out more about your cancer and the treatment you will need,you will find that things just fall into place.The one thing that I would say,is, don't get ahead of yourself.Just deal with what you know each day,because each case is unique,and your doctors know best.This website is THE BEST PLACE to come to for support and/ or advice,any time of the day or night!!I was the same as you,and couldn't concentrate on anything in the beginning either.I couldn't even get a decent evening meal together for my family,in those early days! Take care,and try to keep busy with every day stuff.Let us know how you get on with the surgeon.Cheers xoxRobyn
