Everyone is different and some people have no issues. Fingers crossed you are one of them. Six months on for me and I barely remember now what it was like...how weird is that how our minds can just close that off so we can move on? I too had grief compounding my stress at ny diagnosis, my sister in law was dying at the time of endometrial cancer when I found the lump. I attended her funeral knowing I probably had breast cancer but felt I couldn't share with family at that time due to their grief. It was a rocky start and made it even more difficult for me to see myself as a survivor. I acknowledged all those feelings though and cried a lot during treatment and eventually emerged confident with a new appreciation for tbe life I have. I hope that is for a long tine but want to embrace each day now like it won't be. No looking back. Just forward. I nursed my Dad 20 years ago with lung cancer and I still niss him. I lost my Mum suddenly 8 years ago. We never stop missing them but tbe pain is less intense.
