What do you wish you had known in your first week?

Hodgkin lymphomaRemission

That the waiting wasn't over yet. I'd spent months trying to get an answer, so once I had one I wanted to start treatment right away, and I couldn't. There were more appointments first and I found that part really frustrating.

It makes more sense to me now. Before the diagnosis I had to push to get answers. After, there was nothing to push against, just a plan I had to wait on. Totally different things. I wish I'd used that week to get my head ready instead of counting days.
