I can normally post anything in my diary and do. Yet I have started many time to try to write about this and have hit cancel session.
Several weeks ago they found a lump in my breast. At first my GP thought it was simply muscle related due to where it was located, but tests have since shown that is not the case.
For once I'm scared about my health and my happy go lucky attitude has flown out the window. I have yet to even tell my partner about it.
Gosh, that'll be a tough converstation to have, but it's the first step to ensuring you've got a good support system for the journey ahead. Breast Cancer is one of the most broadcast and well-known cancers out there. Women and men are winning the fight every day. Just stay positive. *hugs*
A very good friend of mine had breast cancer at the age of 21, and she made it through just fine -- just do what the doctors tell you, and you'll get through it. Her doctor said that when young women get it, they're more resilient because of generally good health, and are much more able to stand chemo/rad therapy.
You need to tell your partner. My grandma had breast cancer, they didn't give her more then a few years. But I believe that the support of her family helped her live those 3 extra years, but by then she was ready because she knew we would be able to move on with her in our memories. A family friend had it at the same time, and she beat it. Having the support system there truly does help you through it. Good days & bad days. Please, please don't hide this from your partner and your family. I wish you nothing but the best & will send you all the positive energy I can.
I'm sorry I can't imagine what you're going through, but you shouldn't have to be afraid to open up to people you care about! I'm sure they will be there for you through any situation and will help you in any way you need!
keep your chin up.
i know it's hard, & seems impossible, but just try your best.
so sorry to hear about your news.
dont let yourself go through this alone though.
times like this you need the people around you more than ever.
totally understand your fear.
There is such a fear in what you have to face, and breaking bad news that can be worrisome to your mate.
Fearful of what you have to go thru and how it will turn out.
hugs to you, and the best outcome wished.
courage and strength wished to you to find and walk in.
tap into spiritual help, and meet it head on, and get through it hun.
