Moving forward at last

Hi to all stage 1 ladies......ahhhh!!     I feel it has taken me four whole years since surgery to feel a bit normal, or should i say a new normal. i feel the darkness has lifted and i am able to enjoy life again, cancer is not in the forefront of my mind, it is a great feeling to feel more confident and in a better place emotionally, i know we are all different and our personalities affect how we cope i guess it just takes time....i know we can never get complacent need to do our monthly self exams, and attend appointments.

I feel i am a type of person who likes to be in control, not that i am a control freak just very independent, this has made it harder to accept .....this big big challenge 

Be great to hear from others feeling this way

Best wishes kaza

Kaza, you sound wonderful!  So glad that you feel this way.  It is very encouraging to hear.

Edited later: Kaza, I just wanted to add that having BC is a lesson for us, isn't it?  There are things that we can't control but it's good to be appreciative of the things we can.  As for me, I try to be grateful and to take one day at a time.

Hi corky60..........Firstly, thank you for replying to my post......

Yes BC ..can change us in many ways, i think it makes us look after ourselves, not always putting others first which is a good thing.

Looking at your report it seems we had the same dx, although i am further out than you, you will find as time goes on it gets easier, i remember taking one day at a time, having a very positive day then a not so good day, as we go on we have more positive days till nearly every day is a positive one, we all have different ways of coping, i have so many dresses, now retail therapy was my way, didnt have to cost a lot so i didnt get into debt....

I am sending you sincere caring wishes, take care of you have something or do something that is special to you every day kaza xxxx
