The simple things - Day 7 post lumpectomy

Hi Tracy

the unknown is such a frightening thing and your mind does seem to go into overload thinking about things. The fact is that you may feel differently each day. In regards to your hair (or lack of it) the majority of the time I rocked bald but every now and then, something would happen or someone would say something and I would feel down or awkward about it.  Some days I am fine about the scars and others they feel so conspicuous. I think you are right about your brain kind of numbs to the idea of what you are going through as a coping mechanism. Plus I think you get so focused on all the appointments etc and what you need to get through, that perhaps some of it just gets put to the side. That's been my experience anyway. One day at a time and allow yourself to feel however you are feeling. You will get through this. All the best. Karen xox
