Some of us use the term roller coaster to describe how it feels to be on this "journey". You just get your head around something, think you know what is ahead and the track drops out from under you!
After a while I became a bit better at not getting too far ahead of myself. I know everyone says it but you really do just have to take it one step at a time. I gained some sense of control by concentrating just on what I could do to help myself at each stage. I think walking became my sanity saver. It was something I could do most days and it was my time out from the medical stuff. I either walked somewhere where I could feel in touch with the natural world or walked on the treadmill in my bedroom listening to uplifting music.
I could not control what the cancer had done to me but I knew that I could help myself by something as simple as going for a walk.
Hope that you feel better about this next hurdle soon. You will get through it and the next one after that too. Meanwhile it is very much ok to not feel as though you have to be strong all the time. This is a distressing time and you need to let others help. This is one time in your life where you need to put yourself first. Be gentle with yourself, this is a tough time. Take care. xoxo
