Hi, I'm 3 weeks post diagnosis, worried sick that they didn't catch it early enough. Don't know who to talk to, it's ok telling your family, friends, and partner but nobody truly understands what it is I'm going through, nobody knows exactly what to say other then I'm sorry. I mean physically I feel absolutely fine, but it's my mental health that has taken a bit of a down spiral since being diagnosed.
