I'm so sorry that you struggling with this new journey. I was diagnosed a year earlier than you, and also thought that, once the surgery and chemo, etc. were done, I could return to my old life. It didn't work out that way for me. I've had more time than you to get philosophical about it all. My current mantra is "Whatever happens, love that." Sounds crazy, I know... but it allows me to make friends with the changes, although sometimes I attempt to go around them or affect them... but it's no longer a battle. Just sayin'....

@elizm Thank you talking about your acceptance. That has been my attitude as well once the shock was over. Also, I joined an 8-week Mindfulness Meditation class which has helped me not only accept this, but looking at my cancer as a gift - sounds crazy, right? But for the first time in my life, I have slowed down and can enjoy being in the moment. Plus, I like my new curly hairdo!
