So many thoughts, not sure I want to know the answers
I am 43 years old and it's been 11 weeks since my diagnosis. Kind of feels like I am in a confessional.
So 11 weeks ago I went to have a mammogram about a lump...ended up having the scan then an ultra...

Unless you have been through this I don't think you truly understand all the little things that challenge you along the way.
I actually felt really well and healthy before discovering my lump. After 5 months, so far, of surgery and Chemo I am now a wreck! I sometimes wonder if I will ever feel really good again.
When others complain about the usual irritations of life (like I used to also, I know!) I just feel like saying "try my life for a day and you would appreciate how good your life really is!"
After my mastectomy and node surgery I remember feeling frustrated with having to have a cannula in my good hand restricting my ability to manouver myself in bed. When the nurse removed it finally I thanked her and remarked for the first time in this journey that it is the little things that make a difference. We cannot do anything about the big issue of needing treatment for BC, but the little things can make the process so much better or worse!
