Hi @LizziB

I was very scared. It's like you are entering into a new world that you don't know what it hold for you. My mood was definitely affected. I was sad and worried for weeks while I was still coping with the news. I did reach out to a cancer support group in my town. I needed to be with others who had gone through something similar who could reassure me and understand my feelings.
