Sorry for your bad news. Not having to have chemo is a blessing. For me radiation was much easier. Not a walk in the park but definitely easier than chemo. A lumpectomy is easier to recover from than a mastectomy too. So some good news. Good luck with your treatment.
I found that I didn't really come to terms with my cancer diagnosis until after I had finished treatment and started to recover. It was all so quick in the beginning and I was in a state of shock, I had never expected to get cancer and felt overwhelmed by it and the extensive treatment I faced. I didn't feel unwell, it was picked up early. So it was unreal and at the same time frightening. But time is a great healer, but it takes time. For now, take it one day at a time. We are so lucky to live in Australia with high level health care. Karen
