My journey
One year since last round of surgery. Never thought I'd feel good again, but slowly and surely I feel well again. The adjustment second time around has been jsut as difficult in a very different way....

Hi Pink59,
It's just as awful the second time around isn't it.I had a lumpectomy and radiation in 2003.So last year(7yrs later) I got it back in the same breast.I was in the unlucky 8%.This time I didn't want to tell everyone.People mean well but you do sick of saying I'm fine,really.While you wait for your hair to come in you still look like a chemo/cancer patient.I'm sick of being asked each week by my work colleagues"how's your hair coming along"?After 7mths of disguising my head creatively I must have earned a degree in head management.I too feel like escaping somewhere to be alone for awhile.
