It is bizzare to find yourself in this position but guess what its not uncommon. Women are nurses and women get breast cancer. My sister is a registered nurse and she was diagnosed in January 2005. Then she became the patient.
I truely believe that God only sends what he knows you can handle; and women are amazing at what they can handle. My family have a breast cancer history of 3 generations. My 2 sisters & I have collectively had 3 hook wire biopsies,4 lumpectomies, 9 needle biopsies, 1 MRI guided biopsy, 1 genetic test, 2 lots of radiotherapy, 1 double mastectomy, 1 reconstruction, 1 tidy up and 3 family members lost to this disease.
Its a bitch- but you just get on with it and find the laughter and love where you can.
You will find that here with other survivors and within your health profession. Stay strong dont get down and reach out to people. Its amazing where your support will come from.
