So out of control

Hi Kim, everything seems to get turned upside down when you are diagnosed with BC, doesn't it? Robyn's advice to take one day at a time is the best advice anyone can give. Looking too far ahead just makes it all the more daunting. I was diagnosed in September 2013, had a lumpectomy, 18wks of chemo and 6 weeks of radiation. I found chemo difficult, but it still wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. I had income protection which was a godsend, a fair bit of paperwork was required but I managed it with help of my medical team and workplace. Hard to believe your boss is female! When you know your treatment plan, just tell her how it's going to be, then concentrate on getting through it and taking care of yourself. I am now feeling quite good and I am back at work doing well. I'm not the same as I was before, I don't believe you can stay the same after having BC, but I am a much stronger person now. I still have depression and anxiety but they are all under control. All the best for your treatment, you can do this, take care,
