@Michellecooper, sorry to see you joining this special club where no one want to find themselves in.
What you are going through is normal.
In my case, even when my biopsy results stated cancer, my hubby was still in denial about my breast cancer diagnosis. My GP had to literally ‘slapped’ him.
Our life has definitely changed, I quit my corporate job so we can travel for two years and transition to retirement. Then this happened and now my life literally revolves around the cancer (no joke), surgery, physio and starting chemo soon. But looking ahead in 7 months time, hopefully my life will be back to ‘normal’ or new normal…
I have found this online network very supportive and friends here get what I am going through + have also been able to provide valuable insights when I am unsure what to do.
if you have any questions, feel free to ask, there’s usually someone who has been through the journey and can share their experiences.
😘
