October thoughts……..

October generates a lot of emotion for breast cancer patients and for survivors. I have been listening to many different people’s stories, both past and present and one of the most consistent pieces of advice that keeps coming around is being strong. When you have breast cancer, hearing someone say “be strong” doesn’t really get you anywhere it seems, but saying the best way to be strong is to have your “moment” when you need to but then get back up, take a deep breath and put those big girl panties back on and take more forward steps!! Everybody’s story is different. Everyone processes in their own time. Healing is individual.

15 years ago I was in the midst of fighting my own battle with breast cancer, and like everyone else, mine took several turns I wasn’t expecting. October is emotional……not so much for myself anymore but for the new girls that are just getting started, for the ones who continue to struggle. Breast Cancer is so much more then just a disease that needs to be cured, it messes with every aspect of your life……your relationships, your emotional and physical well being and the list goes on. It takes time……alot of time. You may be done with your treatment, but it isn’t gone, it takes time for your heart to catch up with your brain….ok physically, not so much on the other fronts. Don’t let it consume you but take time for yourself and be good to you..

Just a little info….

I had something I wanted to share and sometimes I struggle with being “politically correct”……but this is important so if anyone is offended…..just know it was with the best intentions.

We had a “situation” with one of our family members…..so, off to the Dr. to get the “news” after the necessary testing…..I get that each office has their own style of presentation of the plan, but you should always get a second opinion if you aren’t feeling completely “ok” with the plan. Our family patient was worried about upsetting the first office………this is your health….first of all the office shouldn’t be upset, they should encourage you to get a second opinion so you are completely confident in where you are going and the procedure you are having. As it turns out in this situation the second opinion was a charm…..everything clicked and we knew what the decision would be. Now, moving forward a whole level of unnecessary stress is eliminated.

Remember, this is all about you!!!
