Getting a breast cancer diagnosis can be a life-changing moment, full of intense emotions. It’s natural to feel fear, uncertainty, and even anger, and each person handles it differently.
What were your first thoughts and feelings when you received the diagnosis? How do you cope with the emotions that come with starting treatment and the ongoing medical follow-ups?
Feel free to share your experiences, whether it’s moments of doubt or moments of resilience. Your stories can help others feel less alone on this journey and show that it’s okay to feel a whole range of emotions.
Let’s take some time to support each other, listen, and share with kindness. 💬💗
