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....

Thanks Tonya, your journey has been harder than mine I had early breast cancer with no node involvement so opted for a Mastectomy. Didn't need the chemo & rads. Hope it gets easier each day for you as well. I found that I started making an effort on my appearance anyway just to prove I was OK. I didn't always succeed but I have bought a lot of new accesories. It makes me feel better to look good. It's interesting how being alone doesn't seem to be an option. I find that I can escape to the church around from work at lunchtime for a bit of quiet time. It is a very peaceful experience me alone with my thoughts and an opportunity to thank God for getting me through another day. I'm also working fulltime and getting back to "normal" seemed really improtant. Although I don't look at things the same anymore. I want to do a great job because I'm a bit of a perfectionist but I don't take it so seriously anymore. Goodluck finding peace.
