@Cowgirl same thing happened to me. I have been to several activities with women that have had breast cancer, Sometimes the meetings were good. Other times it was so sad. It would take me days to get over it. The very young women with young children effects me deeply. I think everyones journey is unique.
The actual fact that you like many others was getting on with life and suddenly without warning you have cancer. That is a shock that I do not think anyone forgets,. Sure you can come to terms with it but feel the same again ....I dont think so
I think just being you is the most important thing.
