Hello Coral
Your diagnosis is so recent that your thoughts are going to be in complete turmoil. im guessing as I obviosly dont know the details but Im sure you have some specialist doctors/nurses assigned to you. Talk to them as much as possible as better understanding of your condition and treatment will help reduce your fear. Also ask about referral to a cancer psychology support specialist. Do it sooner rather than later because in my area there was a bit of a waiting list. Ive seen her twice so far. She doesnt have any magic answers but Ive found it helpful.
From my experience so far, you will soon get replies from other people on this site and Ive found it very comforting to hear from them. Id be happy to talk to you more (just some days my sight is too poor to use the computer but I will reply as soon as possible)
