I can remember clearly hearing those words and I knew that life would never by the same. Melodramatic? Not if you are on the receiving end.
Hearing those words made me think a flurry of crazy thoughts- denial/not me, must be a mistake, they are wrong; then complete fear, bordering on hysteria- am I going to die- who will take care of my girls- how much time do I have; and finally, a crazy acceptance (to a point- I'm not that logical). I just mean that, as my Mom would say, 'It is what it is' and now I was on a mission to get through it.
I think I went through all these, and many other emotions, through the entire experience. 8 months later, I am trying to learn how to move on without the treatments, the constant testing, the mush brain (still have that to a point) etc.. How to get back to 'normal' in other words.
Hoping this blog can be a source of comfort, a way to express what we are or have gone through, and what life is like after cancer.
