this is not going to beat me

Not sure what to say ... but out of the blue.... diagnosed with breast cancer. Is it really happening? I feel ok. Not ill, but now I  know, I feel like I should be?? Does this make sense?

 

  • Hi, absolutely makes sense, I feel the same.  Why aren't I panicking???  Shouldn't I feel more scared bout all this?? I think that is one of the reasons I've accepted it the other is my best friend was diagnosed just before me and all my tears etc went to her, now we support each other, laugh, cry etc.  The thing I'm struggling with is that I don't feel ill and it's the treatment to make me better that will make me feel ill!!  Wish you all the best, keep in touch xx

  • Hi, So pleased to see your post, I thought I was maybe a bit odd that I took the diagnosis in a matter of fact way. Hopefully it means we will deal with the treatment well. I admit that I had one random wobbly moment, I felt fine but wanted a new non wired bra( a bit tender at the lymph node biopsy site) The lovely lady in M&S asked if I needed any help, and I started to cry! Completely out of the blue. Be kind to yourself, I still feel very positive, and actually want to get started on my treatment, to get it over with. Will find out on Tuesday what form of treatment I will have. Keep feeling positive, I will aim to do the same, xx
  • I kinda understand what you feel... after all the diagnosis and testing... nothing really ever change. I still have to eat, sleep, wake up do my daily chore or my job or whatever stuff i usually do .I just know that im terminally sick. However when some of my severe symptoms started showing up i started to actually feel that my days are numbered... but even then they seems to become trivial as time goes by.
