Hi @ayrhaven
Isn't it the mother of all clusterf***s to be diagnosed now? The timing is terrible, but then again it always is.
Breast cancer does change our lives, but I've yet to be convinced it changes us. Physically, maybe, but our core stays essentially the same. A little battered bruised, squeezed and twisted, but you can't destroy matter and I believe in the end you get pretty much what you started out with.
You sound like a sensible, resilient woman. You are already shuffling through options, measuring the pros and cons. The ability to do that already puts you ahead.
Yes, you may be lonely now, but I'm betting you've spent a lot of time in your own company. Rural folk do. Take it one day at a time. Don't tell anyone who doesn't need to be told right now, as you say, someone pressuring you now is not helpful. Play your own game and do what you do best. Good luck. Mxx
