Awake and up all night

Hehe I remember getting dressed in my bed as well that’s brought back some memories 

My older sister and me shared a bed for over six years. We used to get dressed under the covers, like in a tent, and we had our dad's overcoat on the candlewick bedspread for extra warmth. It didn't help much in the winter of 1963...

Hi I was awake most of last night ,I got diagnosed  in October with breast cancer I think am still in shock or I am taking it in my stride ,I don't no .,I don't no how am feeling x but 1 thing I do no I am terrified of treatment after surgery if I need it .

Hi Angelika

I'm sorry you've found yourself here.

The diagnosis is a shock, I hope your treatment goes well. Try to take 1 day at a time.

Hello. 
Welcome to the group. I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. 
Take one step at a time. You have got this.

Hi Angelika, so sorry to hear of your diagnosis, but a big welcome to the group x I was diagnosed similar time to you, not breast but cervix. I feel the same, still not sure if in shock or taking things in my stride. If it helps, ive found not thinking too far ahead, mainly day at a time (can sound like a cliche i know ). Today is my second week of treatments, I just tick off each treatment on my appointments letter and each day I feel " I can do this!". I wish you well. Welcome again  to "night owls " 

Hugs Lesley xx
