I’m 4.6 and feel similarly to you. Diagnosis only a few weeks ago and I’ trying to be realistic. So hard. I also learned yesterday from my mother that I have a family history of this. Welllll, that would have been nice to know!

I'm having a genetic test in November to see if this is hereditary in my family. My kids are 47 and 54 and I want them to know. A new diagnosis is truly shocking. It took me a couple of months to wrap my mind around mine--a couple of months ago--so I hope eventually you'll be able to settle down and think realistically about your life and plans. Best wishes to you.
