Hi [@lowlo77]‍ 

Sorry to hear you have just had this diagnosis, everyone deals with this diagnosis differently and now that you are on this rollercoaster it is going to be full of waiting, emotional highs and lows and lots of questions whirring around in your mind.

The nurses and doctors that will work with you through this will be very supportive and they give you phone numbers that give you direct access to a nurse on your team. I would hope.... that was my experience, so would think it was not because I was special!!

When your waiting for answers it allows your head to just run wild and the time seems to go slowly.

I remember when the oncologist spoke to me and went through all the options and it just seemed to float by me, but he was really nice and took his time and made sure I understood.

I am now 9 months past my surgery ( mine was breast cancer) it now all feels like a whirlwind, but at the time, in that moment everything was in slow motion. There is no easy way to deal with this, it just happens around you and then you get to pick yourself up again afterwards and say well that was an  interesting turn of events!

I hope your appointment goes well on Thursday and please let us know how it went.
