I was diagnosed with breast cancer in February of 2018, right after I had lost a baby shortly after birth. I’ve since had a double mastectomy, chemo, and am currently doing radiation. I also need to have my hip replaced after radiation. Is anyone else’s life just totally messed up like mine? Just having a hard time keeping my head together.

I feel like the mental trauma has been the worst part of this entire ordeal.

Jenni, I went through what you’re going through about 2 years ago and yes Raggedywinnie is absolutely right. I took each day at a time and did many things to combat the anxiety and depression that comes with diagnosis, treatment and surgery. I focused on nutrition, mediation and prayer.
