Hello Helarny and welcome to the club that no-one ever wants to join.   I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer 5 years ago, and as you say, it is a total shock to receive such news.  When you meet your medical team in the new year, write a list of the questions you wish to ask them.  You will probably find that your mind will go blank and when you come out of the meeting you will remember all of the things that you meant to ask them, so a list is a really good idea.   Also, you might want to take someone with you to the meeting......a family member or a friend.  These things can be extremely daunting and you might find comfort if you take a loved one with you.  I expect that your medical team will want to discuss the way forward with your treatment, and this is another reason why it is a good idea to take someone with you, so that they will remember the things that perhaps you have been unable to mentally absorb.  I would also like to say that whilst you are naturally terrified about your diagnosis, at stage 2, it is still within the curable stage.  I wish you all the luck in the world. 

Hi, thank you so much for this lovely positive reply. I will definitely make a list of questions and my husband will by my side. Wishing you all the best in your journey.
