It's hit me!
When I was told on 28th June 2013 that I had breast cancer I was surprised at how well I coped with it all I'm now all done with chemo & had my surgery with results showing chemo had killed off all of...
I think the breast cancer journey causes your emotions to be all over the shop and you can't always predict them.One minute I would be so brave and the next ,a blubbering mess over the smallest thing.Perhaps we brace ourselves for the hard treatment and then when it's over,we allow ourselves to grieve and process it all.Lets face it,it's a long hard slog and you wouldn't be human if you didn't break down sometimes.But if you are crying all the time then it wouldn't hurt to see a psychologist. I've had breast cancer twice and each time it took me about 2 years to feel a little more confident in my health.I still worry if I get an unexplained pain or if I'm due for my annual mammogram.I think it's normal to feel like this and I know the worry will pass when the pain goes or the mammo is clear.It's good to have strategies to help with these feelings.Some ladies find exercise/walking helps.I like sitting in my spa and meditating. I also go to art therapy each week and I run a breast cancer support group once a month which is beneficial. Blog back here for support because I think it helps to vent your fears.The cancer worry will fade in time but I doubt that it ever goes away completely.Big hug, Tonya xx
