mixed emotions

I have no idea what im feeling… one day im fine and really positive and actually asking myself if i should be so positive, the next day im in bits… like today… so scared about whats to come.   Is this normal?

ive just been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, waiting on lymph node results, starting chemo at the end of the month, followed by a matectomy and reconstruction and probably radiotherapy.  x

  • Hi wild, sorry you find yourself here. It is a very distressing time so your anxiety is completely normal. Trying to stay positive can be quite exhausting so allow yourself a meltdown if you need one.  I felt quite emotionally numb at times as I think it can be too much to cope with.  I think we feel very scared but find it hard to admit to our loved ones.   Here’s my story which you may find some comfort from: lifeafterlola.com/

you can join the “going through treatment” threads on this forum to chat with others going through the same.  I found the monthly chemo threads really helpful. Xx
