One of my best friend's mother is a survivor of breast cancer. She is just over a year recovery now. She said (as have other women who have gone through it that I have reached out to) that this is the worst part right now - the waiting. I see the specialist tomorrow morning and at this point I am just ready to hear the good, bad and ugly, and to get on with what I need to do to get better. I am feeling courageous about it today which is good. The anxiety is always there in the background though.
My friends mom shared this mantra that helped her in her journey:
May I be happy
May I be healthy
May I forgive myself
May I accept not knowing
May I love myself
I think I will use it.
Mimi and I went for a walk this morning by the lake and I think it helped to calm my nerves. The beauty of the sky was amazing -heavenly almost.
