…..so much of what I’m experiencing right now fits this description.
Discovering a lump in my ‘breast’, the instant and overwhelming, sick-to-the-stomach feeling that it was nasty, the look on my husband’s face when I asked ‘what does this feel like to you?’, people looking at me like I’m going to die…..
The cancer and my treatment is slightly more complicated this time around.
Radiation and hormone treatment are unavoidable (unless you include curling up to let cancer get you an option), and while I’m grateful to hear there’s no lymph node involvement, I would be naive to think that chemotherapy is not about to feature in conversations with various specialists.
For now, I’m recovering from a second operation in the space of a week, not to mention a hell of a jolt. My body’s already feeling beaten up and weak. My mind and spirit though – the opposite.
I’ll get into further detail of why I feel a ‘disagreeable familiarity or sameness’ at some point. For now, perhaps I’ll work on providing a snapshot of what’s happened since I last put fingers to keyboard in this forum.
