Where is that positive switch?
Stage 2a BC no node involvement, clear margins. HER- negative but hormone positive. Had a lumpectomy, 4 rounds of Chemo on Tamoxifen and decided to have a bi lateral mastectomy booked for 27th Oct so...
@Shorelle, as the other ladies have said, give it time, you will find some acceptance of where you are.
if you are like me though, it will come and go.
right now I am feeling fairly fed up, I am half way through radiation and although it is not nearly as bad as chemo, or recovering from two lots of surgery, I have had enough.
I will get through it, I know, and will be upbeat again when this has finished.
So be gentle on yourself, if you can find some little enjoyment in each day, even just a little ritual of making some tea, I also taped and watched a couple of favourite shows (that my husband had no interest in) during the day, you might find it helps.
I found that having little breaks like that to look forward to, that treated myself, helped me get through chemo and recovery from surgery.
