Hurrah! Finally someone who speaks out and says that breast cancer is not a bed of roses. We are all different. Thanks for posting.. Your world has been turned upside down,so has mine. I recently spoke to someone who said overcoming illness is all in the mind.Really? I said is diabetes,asthma etc all in the mind. How your body reacts to chemo ,radiation and medication is how your body reacts. You have some control over how you will react mentally but thats it. For some their journey will be easier than others. I miss my freedom . I cant drive at the moment . I went thru all treatment only just recently have a shoulder injury. My shoulder should heal over several months ,Great. As you said we can only soldier on.
