Dear Deanne,
Thank you so much for your quick response. My son is receiving an award at the Exhibition Centre for coming first in Victoria in a persuasive writing competition. He is 17, and I desperately want to be there to see him receive this award - I am just so very proud of him!. Then later that same night, he leaves on a 6-week exchange to Germany and I want to go to the airport to see him off. So I guess I need to be aware of limiting contact with crowds as much as that is possible.
When I read other posts on this site, I feel a bit of a fraud as I do not have the feelings of anger or depression. Don't get me wrong, I have my moments of feeling sad and emotional, but mainly, I am feeling as though I have been incredibly lucky to have found this early, to have been able to have the surgery and to be receiving great care! However, I am also aware that it is early days for me and that I may have to remind myself of some of this positivity when I am feeling crap after several rounds of chemo!
Thanks again for resonding to my questions. I hope you continue to feel great and climb back up again. The power of connectedness is just wonderful - thanks again and all power to you!!
