The Disconnect
Hi All
I was diagnosed with BC in Jan last year. Had three tumours in my LBreast removed by lumpectomy. Sentinel Node Biopsy was negative, but aggressive little thing that also tested positive for HE...
you came to the right place, so many of us can relate to your feelings, and if our are different we can still understand what its like to feel iscolated and disconnected.
I was fine going through my breast surgery, I was a little stunned to be told how aggressive my cancer was and that I had renal cancer, but I managed through all that but after I had my kidney removed I just fell apart. My parents have both passed but my husband, children and sisters rallied around but I was a mess.
I went to my doctor and asked for a mental health plan and saw a pyschologist, that was the best thing I have ever done for myself. She was awesome, she really healped me pull myself together. I didn't want empathy, I wanted help, I wanted to find myself again and she assist me with that.
You have been through so much, like the other ladies I think that you need to be kind to yourslef and give yourself some space.
Where are you located, there a BCNA groups all around and we get together have coffee and cry on each otehrs shoulders, have a laugh and just support each other.
I wish you well, send hugs
Donna
