Cancer is a tough disease. I saw a lot of cancer patients when I did clinical massage therapy. It always hurt me to see people so sick. But I truly didn't understand until I had cancer.
I know about the tears. And it is difficult for someone to know what you are going through.
I hope you keep us connected with, What Next. It is a good place to share your thoughts and what you are going through.

I started my journey with my yearly mammogram, then a 2nd mammo, a breast MRI and 2 biopsys. Was diagnosed with stage I invasive ductal carcinoma. Found an awesome surgeon, and had the lumpectomy, and was spos to get brachytherapy, but a lymph node came back positive, and the edges weren't clean, so now stage II and have to go back for more surgery next week. Surgeon said it will be even more painful 2nd time around. And then will have to start the traditional 33 days of radiation. I still feel lousy, get very sore when try to take walks, but trying to do the best I can. My family is great, but they can't truly understand. And yes the Xanax helps, and yes I cry alone at times, and get angry with myself.
