Feeling overwhelmed

Hi @Sharonb58, this is the hardest bit - just trying to make sense of it all and to learn the ways of what seems like a parallel universe. As everyone here has said, one day at a time, one hour at a time. Try not to get ahead of yourself and please try not to go down into the google rabbit hole - often the information is outdated and not from reliable sources. We are all here for you and you will move through this time. Try to keep busy with anything that brings you happiness - walks, reading, TV. Sending you hugs and cheering you on. X

It seems to be such an important message . Thanks you , having a few kind words has brightened my day 💗 . Thank you for your lovely words of support 💗

Remember this golden oldie...."How do you eat an elephant?"....answer...one bite at a time. As others have already said..no cancer is normal...you don't just have a minor illness, but you do only have to deal with your treatment one day at a time. Sometimes one hour at a time...but you'll get there in the end and we'll be here to cheer you on from the sidelines.

Thats for sure !
I'm glad breast care nurse sent me this link , it's very comforting being able to reach out and feel supported. 
Thank you for your advice 💓🙏

Hi @Sharonb58 sorry to see you here in the club no-one wants to join.  Just take it one day at a time.  That's good you have your sister to go with you at appointments.  Be kind to yourself.   You will get through this.  Sending you hugs.

Thank you for your comforting advice 💓 what you said really makes sense to me , one day at a time ... the big picture is making me overthink.  My sister has come to my appointments so far and that has made a huge difference. 
Thank you 🙏💓

Hi @Sharonb58

Breast cancer is common but it’s not normal! Being confused at the beginning is normal as it’s like learning a whole new language when you are overtired and not motivated. Take someone you know and trust to medical appointments if you can, they’ll hear and remember more than you at first. Remember that many people recover, many people never have cancer again. Do what you need to do, there’s no requirement to act or react in specific ways. Most of all, take one step forward at a time. None of us, cancer or no cancer, can go back in time, we go forward. Always. Just now, a few months ahead can seem too hard to think about, so don’t as far as possible. Your goal is tomorrow, then the next tomorrow. It’s surprising how the tomorrows add up. Best wishes for your treatment.

Thank you , that what I keep forgetting (to breathe) !
Great information 🙏💓

Looks like there is lots of support out there 💗
