Judyb Hi and welcome. It must still be very raw for you only 4 weeks since diagnosis. It’s daunting at first but with good support from family, friends and people on this forum, you will hopefully get you through the bits that upset you.
Lovely photo of you both. Xx

Welcome, sorry to hear about the difficulties and your diagnosis. It's a really difficult time but hopefully you'll get support from various medical people such as OT and physio but in the meantime there's a lot of knowledge and support available on here from a great group of people.

Welcome to the forum. It takes a while to get your head around the diagnosis.

It is OK to feel sad, angry, frustrated and scared so soon after diagnosis. We all did and still do!!

There is loads of advice on here, but my advice is dont scare yourself reading about every topic.
