Hasn't Hit Me YetViews: 426

I finally figured it out. I think I know the reason I’m feeling so…I don’t know…unafraid…unaffected. I don’t think it’s hit me yet. I have cancer. I have freakin’ cancer. It all happened so damn fast. From diagnosis to surgery was under two weeks. From nothing to everything. All I have researched on melanoma scares the hell out of me, but I tell myself that none of the “bad” stuff will happen to me. It’s not going to my lungs or my brain or my liver or any other damn place. They scooped it out of my back and that will be that. Tomorrow will tell…

Hi, Louisa:
Welcome to the club. I don’t think it’s hit me yet that I have cancer, and I’ve already undergone surgery, chemo and radiation! Sometimes I feel like this past year was just a dream. I wish you lots of luck and I hope you get only good news from your tests. My “journey” (breast cancer) was much easier than I expected so please know there’s a lot of new drugs and treatments for all kinds of cancers. Hang in there and believe in your doctor——-he knows much more about the type of cancer you have than all that internet stuff. Take care and know you are not alone.
