Can we think of any positives of being on Hormone Therapy?

I did not need chemo and I have put radiation in the gun cabinet to use next time. I was advised to take letrazole and for reasons of my own choosing, declined.
I found my breast cancer diagnosis confronting and difficult and very isolating. Not only in a physical setting ( I am very remote) but also emotionally. Not a day goes by do I question whether I have made a good decision. I had / have no one to have a good "wongi" about it with. And the anger I experienced that came with the diagnosis coloured my view of my world and my thoughts of others.
However the warmth and advice I have received on our bcna site has reassured me that I am not an orphan in my thoughts and feelings. Like a lot of women members of bcna I find that my circle of friends in my small community think that I should be "over it". Are we ever "over it"?
I read every discussion topic and post. There is always something to be gained from them.
One of my gripes is the expectation from my community that I be "positive" and "strong". How do they think I have got this far? At least on this site I can think, feel and express exactly what I am experiencing.
I do not always receive a response / reply to my posts but I feel comforted that they have been read.
Please take care and warmest thoughts.
