Hi @Barbara63,
Welcome to this wonderful group where you can say whatever you like. There is no judgement here but only support from wonderful brave women and men.
I started my treatment with surgery in May and i am currently going through chemo (4 rounds to go after today's treatment), then radium and hormones to come too. It is a shock for sure and everything happens so fast from diagnosis to surgery to other treatments. It is a roller-coaster ride for sure. It is hard to process all the emotions. It takes time. I have trouble discussing it with others too.
I only told a few people that I know would support me but even then it is very difficult. I have a couple of girlfriends who have been through it and they are terrific support as is this group. Thank goodness for those who have been through it or going through it who share their experiences and thoughts. Through them we learn and know we are normal in what we aee feeling and experiencing. It is very hard at times so it is great you have reached out.
I find covid does make is harder for us and our treatment. We need to be so careful and protect ourselves and in doubt so it is lonely at times because it is so isolating. Keep those positive thoughts coming to help you get through. Sending you lots of love and rainbows ❤🌈
