A breast cancer diagnosis is a traumatic experience! So many emotions are triggered and can linger.

Yes anger, confusion, fear, “why me”? ( why anyone?) … all the above emotions …and more. We all have them and then or despite that, we must move on.

Get a helping hand; someone who asks how are you doing and really wants to hear the answer , someone who can be there when you meet with docs and can “hear” with/for you those hard to hear things. Someone who can read up on stuff that you are afraid to read about . Get all the information you can about your BC and options . It’s a very steep and swift learning curve as so many important decisions will be made in quick order.

Anger will come … and go. Getting the treatment you need will serve you best right now. It does get easier as you move down the treatment path. In fairly short order you will be reassuring others ( I know it’s hard to wrap one’s head around that).

Best to you on the path 🌸
