Hi all I was diagnosed with Early BC on 1 Aug and had my surgery last Friday 11 Aug. Am home now feeling sore, tired and still overwhelmed. Most of all I feel guilty that I can't look after my family...
That's awesome news, @Dessi xx. Having a good cry (of relief) is totally normal, too.
People 'think' they know how they'd feel if given a cancer diagnosis .... but in reality - they don't and WON'T until if/when they get one themself. (Hopefully not.) Even those on your TEAM really have no idea, unless they've been diagnosed themselves previously ......
When you have a bit of free time - jump onto these podcasts by Charlotte Tottman - a psychologist who was diagnosed a few years ago with breast cancer - they are a fascinating 'listen' and she fully understands (NOW) what we've all been thru, previously! It will absolutely confirm that all your reactions are 100% normal xx
