The journey so far

I was diagnosed in early October and agree it's a real whirlwind once things get started. Guess it's a good thing that the surgeons and oncologists are quick to jump into action and do what needs to be done but also makes you feel like you've lost control of your life. It affects the people around you so much and some can cope and some just can't. People do call you less and get caught up in their own lives again but I can understand that will happen. The turmoil continues for us though doesn't it? This isn't something that will be over in a few days or weeks but many months. It's a long haul. My treatments won't be finished till the end of July, that seems like forever right now. I am emotionally ok most of the time but sometimes I need to vent to someone who will agree with me and say " yep that sucks"! I have a great sister who I can openly talk to and tell her exactly how I'm feeling whether it be positive or not so positive. The moods pass and I get back in fighting mode but even the strong have their weak moments. I have chemo today too - will be thinking of you xx
