Yes I feel the same way my cancer is stage 2 and this feels like a nightmare that is happening to someone else because before my diagnosis I felt healthy and now I am going back and forth to one doctor to another.

That surreal feeling of disbelief is so common after receiving a cancer diagnosis - many people describe it as feeling like they're watching someone else's life unfold. The whirlwind of appointments and medical visits can definitely add to that overwhelming sensation, but know that this community understands what you're going through and you're not alone in navigating this journey.
