Hi to all who have posted on here.
As has been said before, breast cancer messes with your brain as well as your body.
I once had a boss whose answer to all distressing situations was work and keeping busy.She retired at 84!
There is something to be said for keeping both the body and mind active ( not necessarily with work) to prevent “ dwelling” - especially in the lead up to scans and awaiting results.
Many find meditation helps too.
I have found keeping a reasonably busy life ( but with enough “ me” time) helps me not yo dwell in dark places and regular exercise ( swimming and walking mainly) are great for both the mind and body.
I also enjoy the odd movie as a way of escaping and many ladies also find creative pursuits help .
No one said this stuff was easy but we have all “trod the boards “ in one way or another.
Take care.🌺
