New here

Less than one minute read time.

Hey. I am new here. 37 year old mummy to a wee girl. 

Recently diagnosed with stage 3 T4, high rectal cancer. 

I am meeting the oncologist soon to discuss when I am starting my radiotherapy and chemotherapy. No clue of the type. Plan to shrink the tumour then surgery later down the line. My bowel is beginning to pinch so I am having a stoma over the next week or two (no date yet) 

Trying to process this information as much as I can. As well as keeping the brave front for my little one trying to keep routine as much as I can. Because in all fairness apart from the dodgey bowel habits I feel a bit like a fraudster. (Which I know is a blessing as I am in very good health) 

I don't even know what I am asking you guys. But any and all tips advise that you can give us appreciated.
