โFor whoever is where I was: A few years back, that was me. For me it was scanxiety before every check. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold.โ
โTo whoever needs this: In 2022 I was exactly where you are. The worst part was the oncologist who talks to the screen not to me. This week I went back to my evening class. The bad days get further apart.โ
โWhen I was first diagnosed, I didn't know what to say to my kids. I still don't have all the answers. What helped was small steps: a walk, a phone call, a nap. Don't rush to tell everyone. Take your time. The wig can wait. The tears come when they come. Just keep showing up for the next thing, even if it's just a cup of tea.โ
โI was in the same place this time last year. The taste of metal in everything, every single day. This week I went back to my evening class. The bad days get further apart.โ
