Retreats for post treatment recovery

Three surgeries after numerous mammograms biopsies MRI biopsies. I was lucky the mayo clinic I was doing my second opinion and they found cancer in my other breast where my surgical Dr. missed. I was lucky everything was caught early and I say this and jest I only need a 20 radiation sessions. I don’t know how others cope but I put my emotions in a box and I seal it very tightly. I listen to the doctors who tell me 20 radiation treatment was no big deal I would be fine I’ll be tired tenderness nothing to worry about. This has been the worst week of my life not only did my emotions blow up my breast hurts so bad. Red Sore pealing, I found some CBD cream to help the pain. An am now sharing my emotional state with a few. My story isn’t unusual but with COVID all of the support groups in my area have been shut down. I use some on Facebook and it has been very informative

I am so sorry you are going through this. I went through several surgeries, and 6 hard chemo treatments in my first round, then during my 2nd week of radiation, I was feeling sad that all of the people in the waiting room had cancer. Boom! It hit me like a load of bricks, I was fighting for my life. I couldn’t stop crying.
I can’t hug you and be there to help with daily things that are exhausting, but I can tell you that you are not alone. Whatever cream you are using or aloe Vera jelly , try putting it in the refrigerator, it sounds weird but it actually did help me. Along with the Sertraline my doctor ordered that helped me stop sobbing. Have you visited any of the breast cancer pages here about radiation? Did you look into that retreat?
