Hi Peggysue07
Welcome to the forum. Sorry that you find yourself here.
It is very scary when you first get your diagnosis, but as soon as you get a treatment plan in place you will start to feel a bit better and less anxious.
This group is great and I have had some great advice and help from people on here and on other groups. It really does help.
Take care and I hope you soon hear from your consultant.
