No wonder you feel confused and overwhelmed. I had such brain fog during menopause and that was before the cancer diagnosis.

Is there a friend or relative who can go to your appointment with you? I'm asking this because it's such a stressful time for you and you might like to have another "set of ears" present.

Are you receiving your cancer care at a university or major medical center? If so, can ask your doctor to refer you to a cancer support group at the medical center? I learned about such a group from the Cancer Education Center at Mayo Clinic in Rochester when I was there in December. I asked for a referral and will first meet with the psychologist virtually and then with the group. Also virtually. I'll think of some other questions too and come back here.

No, this isn't a major university or medical center, although it is one of the best in our remote area. I will ask about a support group at my visit. I think that would be so beneficial.

I will consider asking my sister to accompany me, but I prefer not to have the distraction, so that I can concentrate on the news and info myself.

This is very stressful. I don't sleep well, and feel like I cry a lot..
Somedays I feel a little more like my old self and somedays I feel so confused.

Thank you again for being there. It means so much to me.
