Thank you so much for your reply. It is definitely different kind of difficulty having breast cancer at younger age. I wouldn’t say harder. It’s different. Things like changed look, fertility issue, financial/job issue are main concerns but what most worries me is that I think I may never be able to get married. I’m single and I know I will have to confront with more problems when meeting someone in the future, such as opening up about my cancer, my huge scars, uneven boobs, and the fact that I’m quite likely to get recurrence and possibly infertile. I already gives me headaches thinking about my life after treatment.
On the other hand, cancer patients with young children would find going through treatment, working and parenting at the same time extremely challenging. Mums are amazing.
I’m lucky enough to have work to go back to though. It’s my dream job and currently this is the only thing I look forward to.
I just had my second round of chemo and I feel horrible but with my parents’ support, I’m trying to stay positive.
It may be emotionally challenging to put life back together after treatment finished. Please don’t forget that you are a strong person. You have overcome effing cancer. Whatever comes in life from now, how much worse can it be? I do think it’s unfair and I have been depressed but I believe I will be a much stronger person after this. Keep in touch xoxo.
