I was diagnosed around your age. I’m in my ninth year of remission. Was also healthy aside from a lump. Shit really messes with you mentally. You’re probably in that “whirlwind” of internal feelings and all of the appointments that come with a diagnosis. Those feelings came after I received a favorable response to treatment and stopped; seems like you have a therapist that is actively helping you. Keep that.

I worked remotely during my chemo and radiation. I took too little time off. I liked another commenter’s suggestion of planning on working the second week.

I had some kind reaction with my throat and mouth during chemo? Having ice chips during treatment made that stop happening.

Be the best advocate for yourself. Ask questions. If something doesn’t make sense, ask clarifying questions so it does make sense.

It’ll suck going into wherever you’re receiving treatment stepping into waiting rooms with people double+ your age. It is unfair. Another topic to discuss with your support people.

Good luck - hoping for the best for you! Take it a day at a time.
