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...
Hello Mich
Thanks for your thoughts. I guess it's just that moment when you wake each day (or during the night) when reality hits and you think 'Oh yeah I have this alternative life thing happening'.
My breast nurse did say that it takes time to come to term with the whole situation and that the speed of my treatment means I have not had that time yet to let it sink in. I found out it was definitely cancer on the Monday after Mother's Day and had a mastectomy on the Thursday and started Chemo 3 weeks after that. The business of the treatment and recovery schedule has kind of taken over my life but I do feel as though I'm settling with it more now.
It's helpful to be able 'talk' about it with someone who has been through similar experiences.
Thank-you.
