I was diagosed Oct 1010, Had lumpectomy a month later. That was a terrible month-just waiting and feeling powerless-I too wanted this thing out of my body as soon as possilbe. Now 7 months down the track I feel strong.I decided to treat my chemo and radiation period as a holiday from all the things I didn't want to do. I live by myself and I slept in if I could, spent an hour reading in the bath, pottered round my garden-tried to keep up with my exercise and walking and just spent time with family and friends. I went out to dinner and had a few drinks before every chemo session. If I didn't want to talk to people I didn't.. My 7 weeks in Sydney doing radiation I spent op shopping, catching up with friends and fitting the radiation in because I had to. Luckily I have always been a saver and made the decision not to worry about money-I knew if I ran out that my sons or family would help out. Hang in there, keep positive. Talk to your local breast care nurse about anything.
Best wishes
