All I can express is my fear of the unknown. Doctors have been positive about my treatment and the success of treatment.

Feeling afraid when facing treatment is completely natural, and it shows strength that you're reaching out to share these feelings with the community. The positive outlook from your medical team sounds encouraging, and many others here have walked similar paths and found their way through with the support of both their care teams and fellow community members. What aspects of the unknown feel most overwhelming right now?

Unfortunately there is never a map for a cancer journey. I do recommend you start a notebook recording medical visits and procedures. You can also write questions you have. A good website like breast cancer.org will help you to start learning this new vocabulary and understanding your options.
