When I first told my parents the news of being diagnosed, only 2 months after recovering from melanoma, they were devastated! My Dad cried...and he never cries. I actually took the news better than they did! I have been completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of support I have gained already, only a week into this. All the emails, texts, and phone calls. Several people have told me that they have started a prayer chain for me, which means the world to me! I have people as far west as California, as far south as Florida, and far east as Maryland praying for me.....for ME! I can't believe the love and support I'm getting. Thank you all sooo much! It means the world to me!
This past week has been a blur to me. It feels like it's all happening to someone else, or maybe like I'm just getting all these tests to just figure out what is wrong with me, because they don't know yet. It hasn't sank in yet, that I have breast cancer. Although it is hard for me to say those words. My nurse told me the other day, how are you doing, because you seem to be taking it awfully well! It's just because 1) I'm trying to stay strong for my parents, 2) It still feels like a dream. However, it did start to sink in on Tuesday when I was in the oncologist's office and they walked me by the Chemo room and I saw all the people hooked up to Chemo. I started crying when I saw that...it became real to me then. I also find myself crying every time I'm driving in the car alone. My mind is free to wonder and I start thinking about the future and what I'm going to have to endure and I get scared.
Thank you for all the support and prayers and please keep them coming, not only for me, but also for my family! Love you all!
