Re: Frustrated
Kathryn,
The first 3 years are the most difficult.
You are still recovering from treatment and adjusting.
Those early years from dx. are what I call the "what if"
years. So many questions, along with the worry of raising your children. You still want to be the mother you were prior to dx. We have all been there.
Like Sassy and Becky we have seen our children graduate and marry. I just celebrated my 10 years cancerversary.
I guess you can say Sassy, Becky and I (plus a few others) are early stage and now old timers.
You will be too!
Becky.....now you let our secret out of the bag by sharing that info on the scratchy vagina, lol I have tears from laughing.
Kathryn, you will find laughter again also.
You will enjoy your children growing too!
Hugs,
Jean
