I am just at the beginning of my battle, and I was wondering if you could go back in time, before you were diagnosed, and told yourself one thing, what would it be? I need help.

    I would tell myself "I can do this" and to not get ahead of myself! It's hard to not project into the future or obsess over possibilities, but that doesn't really help you get through today.

    If it's before I was diagnosed, I would tell myself to stop worrying about stupid things! Seriously!!! (I am talking to myself here, LOL).

    Marissa- I love this question from someone newly diognosed. I think you will get may responses. Really listen to what Everyone has to say I think you will benefit from all. I would try not to get overly stressed. This really easier sad than done. Hug
