Nedra,
You are on the right path to a healthy mindset about all of this. In my experience the early days have been by far the most difficult. I think it is because there are soooo many "unknowns" swirling around in your head.
I am 55 days out from the day I heard the words you have cancer.... I am also done with 2 treatments of chemo, which hasn't been bad for me at all by the way, had a port put in,...Lost all my hair, But remember that it all grows back, and am back to work living and enjoying the small things that make life grand each day. Things will get easier for you too, I promise. You just need to get your treatments started, know what the plans are for you from your onc, and just put one foot in front of the other.
AND for me Nedra, I have found out that I am not sure what is more important to me, my treatments, or the women in this support group who give me a world of information, hope, and an outlet that I am unable to really achieve in any other way. Stay with us through your journey !
Love to you !
