Tracey,
I agree wholeheartedly with all the replies....
When we get a diagnosis of Bc we lose a part of us.... be it a lumptecomy or mastectomy, double mastectomy then various treatments...
I heard at the orange bcna forum a similiar speech..
It put things in perspective for me... I've needed to see a psychologist to deal with my grief.
We grieve in different ways, our loss personal to each of us but similar in ways..... I'm nearly 4 yrs since diagnosis there are nights I still cry myself to sleep....frustration at side effects or my fatigue...
It's hard but we need to allow our emotions to heal from the onslaught this journey throws at each of us....
Big hugs and a shoulder to cry on when you want
Alice
