Hearing the words, "You have breast cancer" really knocks the wind out of your sails. Then the fear, the concern, the feeling I need to do everything right NOW, and a few tears set in. The turmoil of emotions is so convoluted. It has been a week of more tests, blood draw, MRI, and now waiting to set up "the plan". Make choices, decide on treatment protocol. Action is better than waiting. Wow, how it hits you when you get that kind of news ...still not up for sky-diving, but I do want to press forward with an optomistic and positive outlook. I am feeling more positive after talking to my support person. It will be a challenge and a journey I did not expect to travel... but I am going to step over this rock and continue on the path toward the rest of my life!!!!
Thanks for sharing what you are feeling with the group. I bet you feel better already by writing about it, and you have helped someone else who is waiting to start treatment and coping with all the emotions surrounding a breast cancer diagnosis.
