In the beginning I felt like I was getting one hit after another, too. Remember you are surrounded by a group of people who are here to support you every step of the way. One of the most difficult things for me to do in all of this is to not borrow trouble by worrying about the things I do not yet know. The waiting is terrible and there's no easy way around it. I'm trying to practice this by not worrying about the side effects of chemoradiation---I'm not there yet and worrying now will only take energy I need for the fight in front of me now.
We're here to support you no matter what you find out on Monday!
