So on 18th Feb 2016 I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. I have undergone an operation to remove the cancer and a full lymph node clearence under my left arm and I am currently waiting to start my 6 sessions of chemotheropy followed by a month of radiotherapy. 

4 days before starting my chemotherpay and it has only just sunk in what is happening thanks to the shock and whirlwind over the last 67 days (to be exact). To say I'm nervous is an understatement, I am completely TERRIFIED with the unknown that's to come but I'm assuming that's normal? 

I've recently realised I can no longer hide behind the phrase 'I'm ok' but I am starting to really struggle with my diagnosis and everything I'm about to go through. I've decided to attend some counselling sessions with Tenovus in a hope that speaking to someone will take the strain of keeping things in away.

I suppose the question I want to know is will this feeling of 'my life is over' go away? I was so positive when I found out up until I had my operation but I feel as though I'm a broken person now and I've completely lost myself.
