I got the 'My Journey' kit from BCNA not long after my diagnosis but didn't read it for a while. But when I did I found it invaluable. I did start using 'Google' too much and cut that out when all I read was bad news stories. Too much overload and fear in that. I kept to the recommended sites from then on.
It's good you are armed with your question for the oncologist. Have you written them down? I found that even when I had written my questions down, I forgot half of them when at my appts. Luckily my husband was with me and reminded me to 'read' my notes. He also asked questions I didn't even think of. He has been such a wonderful support for me.
Stay focus on the positive things Maree. Though there will be times when you are very down and you should let your feelings out and have a good cry. You can also get on here and post your feelings and you'll be surprised how quickly you'll feel better reading all the lovely replies you get from this amazing network of women. I'm sorry I didn't start until months after my diagnosis. You'll also start supporting other 'newbies' and that makes you feel just wonderful being able to give back.
Let us know what the oncologist says and keep taking this one day at a time.
