Hi Ang,
I too,am recently diagnosed and going through this journey. It is very scary, but I think a positive attitude and confidence in your care team is essential. This is a great site with lots of information and experiences of those who have been there and done this! And survived! It will be a tough road, but we will get through it. My surgery is April 21. I look foreword to hearing about your recovery and sharing our experiences!
Sending positive thoughts your way!
Ange
