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...

I still cant believe it happened, because I wasnt on any medication, felt very well, and was enjoying my new life with my husband here in Launceston, having moved to 5 months before. Amazing how it can just show up and lucky I found it in time.
I didnt understand all the stuff I was told for quite some time, well after Chemo finished for me. It sank in, what style is triple negative, and the questions started then. Now and then I think about what it was like before this happened, and decided its better to be grateful Im here and just think about one day at a time instead. You do get a massive amount of time to think about it lovely, its just how you manage those thoughts that count......... I chose to smile now, and not to think too much..
. I have had massive support via BCNA, The Northern Cancer Support Centre, regional nurses visiting my home, counselling a couple of times, "The Journey Beyond" seminar, "Look Good Feel Better" make-up morning, talking to other ladies with Cancer experience, meetings via Cancer Council, "The My Journey Kit", really, absolute strangers were my support the whole way and I thank them all because they became as important as family. xx Bel
