Bowie, Ne is right in what she writes, none of this will make sense, we here all get it, no one else will. My sister said to me you've had your lumpectomy and now (radiation) is just a treatment. She was cold and matter of fact, halfway through radiation she sends me a txt messsge saying how u going xx what no phone call...that's wrong. Im on my own and when I was told by a breast screen Dr that I have cancer and look up the Internet for a surgeon, it's all a bit overwhelming.
I've balled my eyes out a lot, the radiation doorbells kept sending me off but eventually I got used to it, some people cry some don't. I called BCNA and was hysterical I'm ashamed to say, I was lost, but as I've moved along this journey I've had a lot of trained people around me to see me through. It's tough. It's a shock, but you can do it...sometimes it's ok to be on your own because you can do things that you want like nap, watch tv, you need one person that you can tell 40 things to and not 40 people that you can tell one thing to...know that you are allowed to think and feel the way you do. BCNA can find you real people to talk to in your area if you ask them. At the moment focus on now and not the future...
