@msardea It's a year since I was diagnosed (click on my @ name to read the full story). I completed my active treatment with a double mastectomy and reconstruction at the end of April. I knew this post-treatment time would be difficult and prepared myself as best I could. After a few months of really trying things got worse. So I started to see a psychologist. Then had some difficult genetic news, and Letrozole is kicking my arse! This survivorship shiz is hard, make no mistake.
People tell me it gets better. I do hope so but at the moment I can't see how. But I don't want to feel like this for the rest of my life so I'm working with the psych, trying to work out how to move forward despite the inevitable disasters that life will bring, and striving to accept my diminished life.
