Welcome Tricia. I'm sorry you need us, but you'll find lots of support here, so you've come to the right place. I know women (and a man) who had similar diagnoses to yours and are doing fine. You can do this. It's not going to be easy, but it's doable. Listen to all the good advice you are getting, because it will make your journey easier. When you are through with therapy, you'll find a "new normal" and with each year that passes, you will find the fear gets less and less "in your face". We will be with you every step of the way. It sounds like you have a good treatment plan.

Love

Jacqueline
