Hi Lisa
I've just read your post and wanted to express my sadness at reading your story and knowing that yet another lovely lady has to deal with the harsh realities of a breast cancer diagnosis. Everything in your life gets turned upside down and you don't have the patience for the everyday nonsense that others gripe about. It's even harder dealing with the hurtful and insensitive things people say - as if you got BC because a higher power decided you would be strong enough to deal with it! I eventually stopped listening to people's comments and would just nod and agree - I know that people have good intentions but if they haven't experienced this trauma they have no idea what it feels like.
You've had a lot to deal with and no time to process it. Be kind to yourself and make feeling well your priority - even if that means resting :) I have had five surgeries since February 2012 and still feel tired so don't beat yourself up.
Sending you hugs and healing thoughts,
Xxx
