One week in.
It is surpirisng how quick and also how long a week can feel at the same time.
I think that I am holding up ok considering but then I may just be in a denial phase?
The MRI on Thursday was a mess...

I am 7 weeks into my journey. The waiting is hard - between tests, between results, and between treatments.
It is hard fielding phone calls and msgs especially when you feel like you don't yet know whats going on or have a plan for the next phase. Could you choose a particular time(s) of day when you read msgs rather than assuming that they need an automatic response? I chose not to answer my phone or take msgs until I was ready to each day. I explained to my family and friends that they may not get answers to each and every msg or call but that I appreciated they wanted to let me know I was in their thoughts.
Hope your weekend reading is helping you clarify your thoughts and write your questions. Informing yourself and writing down your thoughts and questions all helps to gain some choice and control back so that the diagnosis of 'breast cancer' does not take over. Well done for starting here and keep going, the ladies and shared stories here are such a great support.
