Irony and Meaning
Hi Everyone, I'm 42 and was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer just 2 months ago. The irony is that I was planning for a 6 month sabbatical to travel and slow down my hectic life with my partner...

Its a scary time and I imagine your into the path now of treatment. Hope its going as well as it can. I am 10 months in and definitely had ups and downs but it does get easier when you start treatments. As Im nearing the end you start to deal with the emotions.
Just break everything down in to managable sizes or put it on an imaginary shelf until you feel ready to deal with it. Always ask doctors nurses questions if your unsure. Sickness, pain, eating, lack of concentration, exhaustion etc anything. Some times there are things they can do.
Good luck and look for a group to catch up with if you havent already. Some times it makes a difference to meet people in the same situation. To hear there stories over a coffee etc.
Im in victoria and meet with bayside that do once a month lunches. But lots of groups are on face book too. So if you need send out messages to lots until you find the right one. Some are not active so you wont get a message back. So try a few. x
