It does happen fast. I used to say I was hit by a freight train that wouldn’t let me off for 9 months. My diagnoses was made on a Friday arvo in 2008 and I started my first of 6 chemo’s by the following Tuesday. My timing couldn’t have been worse it was only a few weeks out from Christmas & I had my second hit of chemo on New Year’s Eve. Finally when they said I had enough of chemo, I had a mastectomy & then closely followed by radiation.
I must admit having strong support through this time was the key. And believe it or not I did laugh (I have some very funny experiences ) and I did cry. I am happy to chat whenever you need :-) Jo xx
