Hi Louise
It is a whirlwind in the first few weeks of diagnosis and treatment. I was definitely in shock and could not believe that I was facing this. I think it is fairly common to us all when we are told we have cancer. I took it one day at a time and focused on getting rid of it and getting better. You have caught it early at stage 1 so that's a positive.
Try and look after yourself and rest and do things that make you feel good. This really is the time to focus on your needs. Get as much information as you are comfortable with from your treating Drs.
I exercise every day and meditate which I have found incredibly helpful. I didn't mediate before so this is new to me but it has really helped me live in the moment. That's just my experience though and you may find other ways to process your situation. It does take time though!
I wish you all the best. Don't hesitate to ask more questions on here as there is always someone willing to assist.
