First of all I am sorry you are feeling down...there will be better days. None of us are up 100% of the time. As a nurse who worked many years with cancer patients, I have found that attitude is quite healing and a wonderful medication! You must think positive even at the worse times and situations. I was very down when I was diagnosed...the why me syndrome, and as a medical person, I knew what the outcome could be. Then I transferred all the negative thoughts to positive ones...I WILL NOT GIVE UP TO THIS DISEASE. I now look at life with a different priority, and I dont dwell on the negative. I am willing to fight this fight because I have too many reasons not to...children, grandchildren etc. I do things I always wanted to do but never took time...I began riding a motorcycle for the first time in my life 3 months after my mastectomy. Here I was 50 years old and I bought my OWN Harley...yes my kids thought I was going through a midlife crisis, but I did it anyway. Everyone said "you'll never be able to ride"...but I did, and I will continue to...I look at this disease in the same light...when I get another hurdle, I know I just have to jump higher...smile and think positive...believe it or not, laughter can be the best medicine!!!
Hugs
Sheila
