Dear All,
Hi I've read with interest all of the messages and fortunately or unfortunately I am now part of this BC community....I have surgery on Thursday and then? I'm feeling ok and quite calm about everything and know that it's really out of my hands now and I am going to have to stay focused on getting well again, trust myself and my surgeon....
I am a Women's health nurse at Monash and I feel lucky that I have been diagnosed between mammograms ....I have found that many of my work colleagues haven't had a scan even though they are 50+....I find that quite disheartening .
My frustration has really been with well meaning friends who are actually overwhelming me and I'm finding it suffocating...so much so that Im retreating...they are making me fearful ....I've never been a why me person .......I'm a why not me sort! I look forward to meeting you all at some stage....
I am a little scared but I don't want that feeling to dominate me
