I am 4 weeks from diagnosis and from that initial moment I was told my diagnosis I was on a roller coaster ride of emotions. My fiance and friends have been so supportive - coming to appointments with me, checking on me and crying with me. definitely take someone to your surgeon appts. You will have lots of scans etc that will be normal. I had my surgery yesterday - 1 month since diagnosis. Mine was 1.6cm. Glad its out. I know I still have lots more to go through on my journey but this is a great site to ask questions and get support from those who have been there. good luck on your journey.
