Pushing away or clinging on?
looking back at your heaviest breast ca times, what would you say you did more: would you say you pushed your loved ones away or held on and got clingy ?
I hate being smothered with 'good intentions' but I appreciated being 'supported'.
I told everyone that I wanted jokes, not tears & fears ..... and most behaved well!
Being up & down is a part of most people's reaction to being told they have cancer of any sort & throughout the active treatment & even afterwards - but I really DO think that BC has an extra 'emotional content' that most of us hadn't factored into our recovery.
Everyone is different in the way they attack this mongrel of a disease ..... so everyone is 'right' I reckon ;) Whatever works for you - do it.
All the best to those doing it tough just now xxxx
