Do you ever wake up some days and it seems as the day goes on things just turn to #$%&? I had a day like that Monday. My day started off with a GREAT swim! I said goodbyes to the kids and my hubby and then it went downhill...
I read some scary posts on FORCE..a web site with message boards for people who also have the BRCA mutations. It seemed one poor gal did everything she could to prevent cancer by surgeries but still got cancer. :( After that I attended a tumor board for work and heard about another really sad case. As I am driving down the road crying and feeling sorry for myself my friend calls to tell me she has to have an emergency mammogram because she found a lump...I finished up work and went home and slept...felt like the only way to deal with it...block it out.
Today was much better. I decided first thing I would be more positive and focus on the positive of the day and my life. I was asked to speak with another mom who just found out she is BRCA positive. I stared at the number and asked myself how I could help her when I barely feel like I am help myself deal with this some days and then I realized helping her will help me. I plan to call her tomorrow.
I had a great run after work and then enjoyed time at church for Fat Tuesday with my family.
Life is challenging and attitude is everything!!
