Hi Adrienne,
It is hard!! It's frustrating. It's enough to make you feel like you are going to blow a gasket. And I think that there is not one of us who has not felt the shift when you enter the Breast Cancer Zone!! (cue the twilight zone music) Real time seems to exist on a different plane. Everything related to breast cancer time takes what feels like years to arrive - but when it does arrive your not ready for it!!! You're hanging out for your surgery date and then when it arrives although you know it is for the best you will not truly be ready. You will never be ready because this whole disease is not something we put our hands up for and volunteer to take part in. I had six weeks before I had a surgery date and I read and questioned everything I could to get as much information as I possibly could. In one way it is comforting having that amount of time to be able to gather that information, the other way is full of frustration, anxiety, stress, time feeling like it is going in reverse. You'll probably swing between the two. If possible when it starts to get too much try and do something that you find enjoyable. Wishing you all the best, and a quick surgery date. Xx Cath
