I was angry with myself when diagnosed that I hadn't sorted out my genetic risk before I developed cancer but I needed to qickly forgive myself as I had done what I could really.
I get the feeling of being alone and the very real fears that we might not make it. The supportive people saying "you just got to be positive" is enough to send you screaming through the house. It doesn't help. You are scared and angry and just so damn sad. Cry if you need to my lovely. It's not a sign of giving up or being weak just being sad for you and this assault on your life. And that's allowed. And you will pick yourself up and fight the fight for your life amongst the tears. I personally think it's much healthier than just pretending it's all okay...it's not okay. But it just is how it is.
So bite your lip when you feel like screaming at them. Let the tears flow when you need. And we are here when you need to talk to others who do just get it.
And as to google and tnbc....so many survivors out there they don't talk about so regardless of those stats start having the belief you are one of those that will beat it. As many many women have.
