Tania, I hear you about the crying.. mine was more shock and I've been through so much of this since Jan when I found out.. just a routine mamogram. The tough part and maybe it is really a good thing is I was let go from my job (after 24 yrs at this company) in 2011. Job was eliminated.. so I was interviewing like crazy and even did a few during the biopsy phase.. now I've learned to take the pressure off myself. I've worked since I was 17 before and after college. I have also thought of this as a blessing in some way. I have a wonderful family, friends, and fiance. They have helped me, but I also find Zumba is my biggest relief. I was a gym rat before all this and after surgery and all I had to slow down, boxing, weight training etc. So now it is my Zumba,, I find as I danced the fear went away more and more. Now I am going to get certified in Reiki and I hope to help others as well. Even if I can drive someone to chemo and sit with them. I helped a lady the other day who just didin't know what to eat during chemo.. no taste, etc. She hugged me and we both thanked God. I think it is wonderful that you are already helping. I'm almost out of my fog and should be ready soon too! God Bless!

Hi Deb:
Believe me I know it's hard I have cried my eyes out till they are blue, but what has helped me through is the faith that I have which is very strong it does not matter what kind of faith you have but if you have one it helps. Family, friends and co-workers have been wonderful and even though Cancer is a monster I have become a better person and I am invloved in the American Cancer Society and I knit for a non-profit organiazation call Kint Love In to It and they deliver hats to patients. I also do yoga every night before I go to sleep. The more you talk about it the better it is. You are a normal person going through normal reactions. Staying positive helps big time. Stay in touch and please ask away if you have more questions.
Hugs, Tania from Miami, Florida1 Comment-

about 4 years agoThank you Tania. You are wonderful to reach out to me.. I'm just getting used to this site and hope to be able to help others as well. I just finished #7 of 28 rounds of radiation this morning. So far so good. Better than the past few months. I am trying to stay very positive and believe this thing is not coming back! :) Love to know how you deal with this and what positive inspiration helps you. Deb
