You wouldn't be normal if you weren't scared and anxious but you aren't alone. I was diagniosed at the end of July and even now find it hard to believe the speed at which things happened as a result. Initially you don't have time to think I found I was going from one appointment to the next. Once I started chemo that all changed and I had time to think. I found that trying to keep your life as normal as possible helped.
I have had 4 lots of AC chemo and start Taxol in 2 weeks and guess what Hazel? I am scared, but I also realise that this is the next step in my journey and eventually it will be over and life can get back to normal.
The most important thing I have learnt so far is that you can't always be strong and once in a while you will feel sorry for yourself and noone will blame you if you do.
