Fortunately, my husband was there to hold me when I was told that I had grade 3 breast cancer, which had spread to my lymph nodes. I need to be kept. It’s amazing how quickly your mind allows it to get there on its own. A widowed husband. Motherless children. Tell the Breast Cancer Support Team Awareness Ribbon Pink new Shirt yourself you’ll never see your kid graduate high school or try on a wedding dress. That you will never cuddle your grandchildren.

Sending those test results is the last time I have been allowed a helper at any of my appointments. Being diagnosed with breast cancer when Melbourne entered the second closing session meant all of my subsequent appointments were lonely. Is this a side effect of chemotherapy and the huge amount of steroids in my system? Or is this just the Breast Cancer Support Team Awareness Ribbon Pink new Shirt reality of a cancer diagnosis hitting me with all my might? No one is good.

So right after my fourth chemotherapy treatment, I started taking antidepressants. Almost immediately I started to feel better. I started to taste the food again. I can see people for an hour of exercise allowed for me. I began to feel less scared when I went to the stores in case I ran into someone who didn’t know about my cancer. Loneliness and isolation like COVID-19 forced me to go through cancer, so there was also some silver lining. The fact that most of Melbourne are isolated means that my compromised immune system is safe from the virus. It also means that I have a much lower risk of encountering people who have never heard of my breast cancer.

Dipping my toes into the Breast Cancer Support Team Awareness Ribbon Pink new Shirt water of public life is a slow process. You don’t want to be the person with cancer who has to explain everything you went through when you finally saw your family and friends again. However, right now I’m at a stage where I feel comfortable going out without a hood. Having cancer also reminds me of the importance of living a meaningful life. Creates memories, laughter, friendship, love, and most of all, family.
