Hi @Samalex
Its normal to cry and to grieve the end
of your “ bulletproof self” after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis.
And once I learnt that 1 in 8 women in Australia will be diagnosed with breast cancer I went from “ why me” to “ why not me”? Life’s not fair but we have to deal with the cards we are given .
Later on when things have settled down you may want to listen to the podcasts by Dr Charlotte Tottman referred to in the “announcement “ further up this page .
She was a psychologist specialising in treating cancer patients who got breast cancer herself.
Because the psychological impacts of the diagnosis are important too .
The fact that your mum survived the diagnosis and has gone on to have such a good innings should be grounds for looking at the glass as half full.
You will feel a lot more settled once you have a treatment plan.
And don’t be shy to post any questions on here, it is a place where we have all done the journey in one way or another.
Take care .
