Welcome to this amazing network of Pink Sisters. We all know exactly what you are going through.
Enjoy your quiet week next week. Once you start your chemo, you'll get into a sort of routine and things will settle down. Believe it or not time goes very quickly and before you know it, your main treatment will be over and you can start your new normal.
You do find out about who are important in your life during your journey. Family connections for me grew stronger and stronger. I hadn't seen my younger sister for 10 years. But when she found out I had BC, she flew across the country from Perth to Melbourne and we made amends whatever stupid thing kept us apart for so many years. We regularly correspond now and I feel that our whole family is 'whole' again. My husband and two grown up children are my anchors keeping me tethered to happiness. I could not have done this without them. I am glad you are moving back to be with your family and friends. You need loving support through this journey. It's a bumpy road and they will help you ride it out. BC does change your life but I like to think that part of it has been for the better. Not that I am happy to have had BC but I'm happy that my family are very much more tight knit. We have to have some positives don't we.
When do you start chemo in Feb? Not long now. The worst is the unknown but when you have been through the first one, the others aren't so bad.
Keeping laughing Di. Those endorphins can't do you anything but good.
Lots of love
