Hi Mamaof5, first off, sorry to hear this. I was a stage two a couple of years ago, and it hit me like a truck. Good news is you have got your appointments lined up, the work has begun. My advice would be to put yourself first. Be kind to yourself. Look after your diet, get plenty of rest, get out in the sunshine, read books, binge Netflix, pamper yourself. Do everything to make your self feel good in yourself. Sounds easy, bloody hard. At night was the hardest, when everyone was asleep and my brain would run riot, so I read up on cancer. I got every piece of information I could find, so I knew my enemy. That's not for everyone. Some people would rather not know. But I wanted to know what I was fighting, so I knew the best way to fight. My biggest piece of advice I can offer is don't keep it to your self. Tell everyone. People react in different ways, some can't cope with the idea, others rush to help. Accept all support in whatever form it is offered. And keep talking. Sending luck and love to you x
Hey Mamaof5 just sending you some love and encouragement. I have just undergone 2 major surgeries and I have commenced a little YouTube blog of my cancer journey, if you would like the link to it let me know.
