Sorry that you are joining our little club here but this site will be the best thing that ever happened to you. I guarantee it.
Where exactly did they say your Primary was? How young are you?
You will need someone, we call them Caregivers, to help you so is there ANYONE you can approach?
Are you also getting chemo?
Don't feel isolated or lonely. You can post here 24/7 and someone will respond within minutes usually. Many of us, myself included, will gladly exchange our phone numbers with you so please don't ever let the mental side take control.
