I will have some answers by Thursday now to stay in positive thinking mode. (very hard to do) Andrea Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:53:40 GMT https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/I-ve-just-been-diagnosed/confusion-set-in/m-p/7939#M553 Andrea_has_a_he 2012-01-13T12:53:40Z https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/I-ve-just-been-diagnosed/confusion-set-in/m-p/7940#M554 It's hard not to worry when it's all new . Once you get into treatment it will be easier, in that you know they are doing something about it.

I need, want or what ever answers as to how good or bad things are I am so frustrated.
