I feel so detached I want to cancel my surgery because I don't feel I need it!
I don't know where to start! I'm 45 and after ankle surgery (broken) and a massive pulmonary embolism, that according to the doctors I shouldn't have survived, I've been dealing with major depression ...
@MezDiaz - Golly gosh - you've been thru so much already ..... and now the BC diagnosis on top of it! :(
I think most of us didn't 'look or feel ill' before, during & after surgery (I was lucky and just had breast conserving surgery/lumpectomy) and didn't have to have chemo, just radiation & hormone tablets.
I am sure all my family & friends expected to see me lying in bed, dying or something!
Your medical team will be giving you the best advice - some cancers are nastier than others ..... mine was invasive (fast growing) so I was really pleased my GP found it 'accidentally' & my roller coaster road started after having a biopsy!!
Talking of Biopsies .... have you had a biopsy to determine that it IS cancerous? It might be worth asking, if it hasn't been done already!
All the best for your ongoing treatment - have faith in your medical team ... they are there for YOU, as are we! Hugs coming from Forster! xxxx
(BTW .... whereabouts are you? Just the town ;) )
