So much...so fast...is this real?

Less than one minute read time.

Found I have breast cancer in June.Have had the op,chemo,am taking Femara for five years,with radiotherapy looming in November.Yet ,despite many complications along the way..it's not easy as everyone knows,the whole experience seems so surreal.Does anyone else feel like this?

    yes yes yes.  i feel exactly that way!

    sometimes its like its all happening to another me! sometimes its so real and i just cry even though i am over the worst.

    i am finding that jotting down how i feel here does help a little - my family have borne enough and sometimes how i feel throws me but not the community on here.

    take heart x

    I was diagnosed in May the last 5 months have flown by. Some days you do look at yourself and go really ??? But I'm thinking I'm half way there, I find myself fantasising about when it's all over ....sooo I may never have a boob back, but everything else will grow back and damn I want a holiday !!! 

    Stay strong x

    Hi Patricia,

     

     

    I know exactly how you feel. Four years have passed on my journey through treatment for Osteosarcoma and I still feel like it has all been a dream. In one way this feeling of it flying past is a good thing. Before you know it your treatment is done and your sat there thinking...wow....ok that was fast. 9 months of chemo left me feeling like this, but it can also mean when something out of the blue happens it hits us harder in my experience. 

     

    Don't worry if it feels this way, it is ok. Part of me believes it is our mind natural way of coping with something horrible happening like this. Sending you all the big hugs I can.

     

    Hang in there, you have been through so much you can do it xxx
