At the age of 42, I found blood on the inside of my bra, but not on my shirt. The doctor hoped it was an infected duct, but mammography showed somthing much more serious. After a single mastectomy and lat reconstruction, 12 chemos and Tamoxifen, I have made it this far and though still ADHD, am getting better at managing my time, my life, my energy and my heart. I was single then and still am..this year seems to hold more connection for me to that time in the past, of fear and struggle, and deciding what was/is important in life. Ask for help, accept the love, be strong and know that this is a just a test..which you will be shocked to see that you will pass with flying colors, if not many new and profound insights into who you are and who you are yet to become..Blessings.
