@lisman1408 Thank you for sharing this. What an incredibly bold, raw, and well-articulated article. I stopped on several phrases, just letting them sink in. "Breast cancer savages much more than breasts." A truer statement could not be written. I read this article in its entirety, reaching for each new sentence. What an incredibly telling piece. No, I am not alone in the feelings leftover from this extremely difficult ordeal. The self-inflicted sense of shame (because I am not "feeling wonderful") can be let go.

If anyone has not read this article, I'd encourage you to do so. Even if you are just starting your breast cancer journey, it's good to realize that it's okay to struggle - but that you can keep moving forward.

Thanks so much for sharing, @lisman1408

Thank you, this article is perfect. I am currently in the middle of chemo for my 2nd round of cancer (did not have to have it the first time, only (only!) a mastectomy and radiation) and I'm having a hard time with it. I'm saving it so I can pass it on when I feel up to it.
Thanks again.
