I know we have crossed paths on other threads as well. I still wanted to check in with you and see how you were feeling. I know the treatments can be overwhelming, but hopefully the anxiety dropped once you were in the thick of it. Are you still having that heart pounding panic feeling? Are you feeling any stronger?

Thanks for asking Chris, My heart pounding lasted a full month to the date of my diagnosis. It is a treat to have that feeling gone now. The only treatment offered now is the mastectomy, and I think I might get my surgery date sometime in the next 2 weeks as I am on the urgent list. Covid has been tough here so wait lists are unpredictable.
I have been a little emotional in the last 2 days, but my finances are really tight so I think that strain as well is whats going on now is the source of recent tears.
As I also have struggled with clinical depression for many years, feeling down is not new to me, I think having cancer makes me feel now I have a reason for this heavy feeling
