Guilty

It is important no matter what treatment you may or may not have that you give yourself time to adjust to the idea that you have had Breast Cancer. No matter what stage you are at diagnosis, having had BC is not like recovering from a routine illness or routine surgery. They can not really tell us what causes it so there is always the risk of recurrence or even a new cancer growing. It is important to take the time to consider what you really want from life. You need time for your body to heal and time to think about what you might want to change about your life. If you go straight back to doing things exactly the same as you were before then what is to stop your body from having the same problem down the track. Having cancer is a sign that your body is not handling what you are doing, so take time to nurture yourself and work out a new way forward to a healthy and happy life. Hope your results are good, but know that Chemo or no Chemo you still need time to recover. You have no need to feel guilty, you need to do what is right for your future. Deanne xx
