The beginning of my BC Journey
So hard to believe how your whole world can be turned upside down in one Dr's consultation. Breast Cancer...me???? It still seems unbelievable. Over the past 12 days I have been through the barrag...
Hi Linda,
I will be thinking of you tomorrow and hoping your bone scan goes well. In November I was where you are now. One mastectomy and node clearance, plus a couple of rounds of chemo later and I still find it hard to believe I'm doing this.
My tips for the early days is to plan treats for yourself so you have something to look forward to. A nice day out can be snuck into the program in between appointments. Before my surgery I wanted to swim in the ocean one day and also spend a day taking photographs at a location of my choice. I think my husband enjoyed those days as well. I felt sad but more normal and it got me away from hospitals and needles.
Take care.
