My story
You think it will never happen to you, until it does.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 20 July 2016.
I'm 35 and married for less than 2 years. My husband and I had only recently started try...
Christel,
Reading your post lifted my spirits, so thank you for taking the time to respond. I hope that in time, I'll be able to be strong like you, and continue to move forward in life! I really admire the fact that you have been able to maintain your sense of humour, and i'm sure that has helped greatly in your BC journey.
At the moment for me though, it'll still too raw.. a sea of tears, frustration, despair and disbelief. I wake up some mornings thinking this is all just a very bad nightmare, but then i snap out of it just as quickly, and am hit with the awful realisation that this is all very real, and that this is my reality now.
I agree with seeking professional help and have requested for a referral to see a psychologist. Like you, I strongly feel that I need to speak to someone completely outside of my family and circle of friends. I'm hoping that the psychologist that I'm seeing next week can be my 'baggage carousel'!
Wishing you love and light, and thank you again for being kind, positive and uplifting.
