Talk to your doctor. I take an antidepressant that helps me. Please know that your emotions are perfectly normal in your situation. Hopefully with time you can move through these difficulties. Some counseling with a professional therapist might help also. Allowing a therapist to guide you through these feelings might be a good release of bottled up emotions that you might be unaware of. Good Luck and keep us informed as to how you are doing. We are all in this together!

I’m going through breast cancer. I got diagnosed 2025 this year. After my second surgery I was referred to radiation and chemotherapy. However I never made it to radiation or chemotherapy. I’m working on my third surgery next month October 2025. This time both breast will be removed. I am not quite sure how my emotions run. I said to myself it’s just one surgery; no tears. I’m not sure if tears was bottle up and not wanted to come out. So I get a call from doctor said sorry we have to go back to surgery, I see more cancer developed. I didn’t cry but you could hear the fear in my voice. I believe in prayer and I knew that will get me through all the nonsense. But after I receive the third call and removal of both breast, I screamed with tears rolling down my face. I have come to term with it now. I know Jesus not going to bring me this far to leave me. However Jesus put people in our corner for support. Thanks to the Mayo Clinic who support us and provide support groups.

I do wonder if I am bottling something up and don’t realize it. Great advice, thank you.
