I fortunate went thru my journey during COVID and since most of same age coworkers had recently retired and my current coworkers were young enough to be my children I chose to rely only on my spouse and myself for my support. My daughter and sister both offered in person support but they live out of state. The first week was probably the hardest - soreness, uncomfortable and restricted mobility. But research helped me prepare for what to expect which also helped to refocus my emotional conflict about what was planned for me. This site ended up providing me the emotional support I needed because everyone understood what I was going through and confirm and support my highs and lows of this journey. I knew family was concerned for me and wanted to support me, but since I am the only individual to have BC no one else understood the emotional turmoil of the decisions and treatments I would experience. I hope this site provides the support you need and want.
