why me

Hi Sam my names Aimee I'm 33 and was diagnosed just over a month ago. I found my life changing lump whilst breast feeding my 8 month old daughter around Christmas time. After a rushed Ivf egg freezing cycle for the potential of a sibling for our little girl I started chemo last week. And I'm with you on the emotional roller coaster. I go from being completely fine to a ball of tear in 30 seconds. And funnily enough the tears never come when I expect them to. Like today I got my long hair cut short in prep for the hair loss chemo is going to bring and I thought I would ball but was fine, yet other moments I think I'm going to be fine and I end up blubbering at a complete stranger.

All I can say is that it is getting better and the tears are less frequent and hopefully this happens for you too! I have found spending quality time as a family with my husband and daughter for special lunches by the beach or a day out in the country have helped. As well as forums like this one and a young women with breast cancer Facebook group I've joined which make me feel less alone in this journey.

Wishing you well on your treatment journey! ??
