Hi ladies, this is my first real post & am finding it difficult to explain how I feel (or dnt feel).
I have been diagnosed for a few weeks & have surgery booked for Wednesday but I hardly feel any emotion as in worry or fear in fact I'm more concerned about putting my grown up family & husband through it all. I'm not in denial as I accept I have BC & know what surgery & treatment to expect but just dnt think my lack of emotion is normal.
Have any of you lovely ladies had this experience.
Hi. I know what you mean i was diagnosed afew weeks ago and only cried when they had to postpone my surgery.. It feels abit surreal but accept i have BC like you said...
I dont think we lack emotion but maybe just have a different perspective on it for ourselves? but then maybe we have our "meltdown" later?? who knows..
I think its important to just keep doing what feels right for you xx
What a shame your surgery had to be postponed think that cld send you into panic mode. Hope your surgery & treatment starts soon. Xx
I am quite relieved to read your post as I feel very similar. It is what it is, this is treatable and I will manage this. I've cried once shortly after the full diagnosis, but other wise I am very positive and pragmatic and feeling generally ok.
i guess we all deal with things in different ways and that's ok
Yip let's get on with what needs doing. Stay strong ladies. X
