Hi Nedra,
So many adjustments in the beginning. For me as time went on, it went from tailspin time to "I can do this...if I have to." Good suggestions to focus on the treatment at hand. Pathology reports are helpful to decide on treatments and to be aware of all the options available.
Early on I tried to live in what was happening that day only and not to spend too much time thinking of 6 mos or 12 mos later. Some days were better than others. I mentally imaged that I only needed to get up and put one foot in front of the other. The rest would be taken care of somehow and some way. If anyone has every walked a labyrinth, you know you can't visually see the way on the path when you begin...so many twists and turns to get to the center. Then you get to the center and have to come back out again. There's only one way in and out. At times you can feel lost, but you keep moving forward.
We all stand on the shoulders of those before us. This group is the best all the way around for good information and support. I'm in awe of the wisdom, kindness, and generosity of spirit.
