Hi Tonya
Lovely to hear your experience with gaining knowledge and with the unpredictability of your emotions. I am finding that out now. One minute I am brave and getting on fine but I struggle at other times. Not very strong in taking criticism or dismissive "just be positive" comments. It doesn't take very much to spoil my optimistic start to the day. So, yes this is a wonderful place to come.
I am sure I will need a "calm me down pill" next Friday when I start my chemo. For now though, I am going to give myself a mental holiday and try really hard to put my energies toward things I love to do. Going to have my hair cut into a pixie style next week, have coffee with a friend or two, read my book and keep up with my morning walks and try not to think any more about it. That's the plan. lol
Talk soon.
Love Joy xx
