Just diagnosed

Hi Tiga 

Just a quick hello and hug in case you are still awake

Other folk with similar experience will be along to respond soon but feeling shocked and overwhelmed  is perfectly normal.

There will be times when everything seems to be happen too quickly and other times when 'waiting' is stressful.

You have come to a fab place with wonderfully supportive people, where you can ask questions, rant, cry and no worry or question is silly or too ridiculous.

Take care

Thank you for response. I'm awake as pain in my arms cannot let me sleep for long. Scared too. Worried about my family. Thank you for being there xx

Hi

Pain and lack of sleep are not a great combination. They are both mood altering. A trip down to GP might be a good idea. Maybe they can help. I use to go to yoga. Surgery on my feet have made me do a rain check but I've found stuff on YouTube and some good relaxation apps on my phone. One is for pain relief. You have to search a bit but I'm sure you'll find something.

I found the breathing techniques very useful on Tuesday while they tried to put my hookwire in. They even asked how I was keeping so still.

Boob'slike a boulder at the moment so just waiting for drugs to kick in.

It's like being in the army " hurry up and wait" so sleep and finding targets for each day are good for you.

Be kind to yourself
