โIf you've just found this place, a year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. For me it was the oncologist who talks to the screen not to me. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.โ
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
โIf you've just found this place, eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Back then it was work asking when I will be back. These days I mostly feel like me. You're not on your own.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
