Crying and anger is all part of the process I think. I had a "pity party" for a day and then did the "get on with it " speech to myself and let it go. I agree with learn to go with the flow. If you are going down the path of chemo and radiation, it is an unknown how you will react. Some people react badly (me in the first round but we have adjusted some of the medication) and others are not too bad. It is yucky and confronting but it is just for a short period of time (relatively speaking) - then you will be OK.
I am a Grade 3, triple negative BC. Uncommon and prognosis unknown. So chemo and radiation are my only medical options. It is scary, but the percentages for recovery are in my favour and continue to improve. I am aiming to add to the positive percentages. I am in Brisbane and my ocologist and his team are great. No question too silly, no fear unable to be voiced. My breast care nurse is also super.
I enjoy and take great heart in the stories of women who have made it through the chemo and are now returnng to the new "normal" lives. It reminds me that this is all very doable. Keep writing on the message board, others are going through this with you.
