Hi @CarolCull I am so sorry I cannot imagine how you are thinking and feeling right now.
Yes, I bet the unknown and whirlwind you are now on is scary.
@Alice_BloodCancerUK has given you a brilliant response so all I can add is be very kind to yourself
I hope others can share their experiences.
I will be thinking of you on Wednesday. Perhaps write down any fears and questions you might want to ask.
I have never learnt to speak medical speak so if you do not understand anything do ask for clarification,
We are here for you to say how it really is for you and please do let us know how you get on Wednesday, look after yourself
