I had a feeling of detachment when my doctor told me i had a infiltrating lobular carcinoma, everyone was so serious around me!
Two surgeries, 12 weeks of chemo and 16 radiotherapy sessions later I'm here! Six weeks out my hair is growing back I'm getting stronger everyday. I found the time between surgery and chemo starting was the worst wanting things to happen, they soon did and what seems like forever actually goes quicker than you think it will!
I suffered a bit of anxiety, recognised it and went to my gp who gave me pristiq to take which took the edge of my anxiety as well as seeing a psychologist at the cancer council, 5 sessions free! Love what you have not what you don't have. For me i just moved 2600 ks from my home into a new relationship, this new man has been wonderful as half of our relationship has been with my treatment. I also was away from my friends, my sister, i don't have my own family from the inability to have children, sucks big time. I did this journey pretty much alone living remotely as well. You draw from strength you didn't know you had.
We still have life some days a fatigued one but the sunrise is beautiful every day.
