Gigifaz, the fact that you’re trying to make decisions and going toe to toe with your doctors shows how resilient you are. No one feels resilient at your stage. None of us feel strong. In fact it’s the opposite. But when you look back on yourself a year from now you’ll realize what a rockstar you’ve been. My therapist equated this stage of the breast cancer journey to a storm. You’re just trying to hold on, keep from getting knocked down, pummeled so to speak. The growth comes in the future from realizing you did it.
@Gigifaz I echo what Kay has said about feeling resilient. I certainly didn’t feel resilient when making those tough decisions, it’s always after the storm once you have the space to digest all you’ve been through that you can truly appreciate that you are in fact resilient.
