How do I cope with my new breast cancer diagnosis?

I understand where you’re coming from Starlene.  the thoughts that go in and out of your head are sometimes overwhelming.  people that don’t have breast cancer have absolutely no idea how we feel they have an understanding that breast cancer is curable and that were so lucky we got things in time.  But when it happens to you, your mind goes everywhere. I feel like all the treatment medically is wonderful, but I don’t think the medical field really hits the mental part of it as they should. I feel we all are supposed to feel a certain kind of way , in the medical field is all positive all the time It’s hard for me to explain in words I mean, I’m grateful that people are so positive around me, but that doesn’t help how you feel on the inside. For me diagnosed stage 1 over a year ago after surgery stage 2 with lymph node involvement the whole ordeal is worrisome. The best thing we can do is stay positive and live our lives to the fullest

How are you doing emotionally and physically now?

I have good days and bad days. I’m just a worrier by nature.
