This tuff cookie is crumbling
Hi I am 46 and diagnosed 2 weeks ago with invasive ductal carsonoma and DCIS on a routine mammogram.
Met my surgeon on Friday and having surgery this Wednesday. He offered me a mastectomy but said I can expect just as good a result with wide local incision and radiation.
I am normally the tuff cookie and I support others. Everyone comes to me with their problems or worries and I am very positive and proactive.
BUT man am I struggling. I have not cried in front of my family. ( I sneak up at night and cry for hours) I hate people fussing over me and would sell a kidney before I would ask for help.
Many advice for this control freak on letting people in?
Thanks heaps
