Until now I knew through doctors talking to me that I have breast cancer, I can also visually see it, but to come to terms with it is a whole different aspect. I can speak very easily about my breast cancer and it is a sort of therapy for me write my feelings and express them with all of you.
My emotions are all over the place and justifiably so, it is hard for me to imagine what life will be like after my surgery. So many thoughts cross your mind, as much as I want my breasts out, they are a part of me and I feel as though a part of me will be gone forever. At this time I will not be having breast reconstruction, it was not recommended by my doctor due to the treatments that I will undergo afterwards. This would only be considered at the end of all my treatments. My husband is so supportive and he is my rock, without his encouragement and love I would have crumbled at the thought of breast cancer.
Not sure what the appointment will be like today, I am meeting the nurse and she will explain to me the details of the surgery and what to expect afterwards. How does someone come to terms with the fact that they lost a part of themselves to this horrible disease.
Well, one foot in front of the other with your head held high and one day at a time. Oh yeah, and kick cancers ass.
