Not sinking in
Hi! This is my first post. I am 9 weeks into this journey that no one ever wants to take and have had surgery (mastectomy) and first two rounds of Chemo. I have read a lot of posts that have helped me get through things so far and think this is such a great way to connect with others. It is great to read about others that are further along the treatment path and helps to know that you do get there eventually.
I am wondering how long it takes for it to feel real as I still have trouble accepting that I really am going through this (despite a missing boob and no hair!) and that I really did/do have breast cancer. It feels like I am watching someone else go through it and I have to keep remembering that it is really happening and that my life is forever changed by this. Will I ever get used to it and stop having a little shock each time I think about it?
