I was introduced to the BCNA website shortly after surgery (11th July 2014), but didn't really think it was the place for me. Even after the mastectomy, it didn't really sink in that breast cancer was happening to me. The first Beacon magazine arrived in the post a day or so after arriving home from hospital, but I barely glanced at it. I didn't want to read other peoples' experiences, possibly because I just didn't want to accept that a cancer experience was now part of my life.
I've now had 2 treatments of chemotherapy, with 2 more of this particular treatment to follow, then a different chemo regime will commence. Chemo makes me realise that I'm in for the long haul, and I now want to connect with others. I don't want breast cancer to dominate my life for the next 6 months, but my outlook is changing. I'm hoping that connecting with others may perhaps help me understand a little more about my changing perspectives.
And thank you to the administrator of this post for making this a simple place to get started.
