I surprised myself last night. Not with a gift of jewelry or a new pair of shoes.
But by attending a support group with other women who have been treated for breast cancer.
My surprise? I enjoyed the conversation.
It felt good to talk with other women about what we'd all gone through, the little surprises as you go through treatment like tatoos so the radiation field is accurate or how family members reacted when you told them about the diagnosis.
I wasn't sure what to expect. And even though I'd signed up for the study group on managing stress and cancer, I thought I wouldn't have much to say.
I found we all had a lot to share. And afterwards, I felt more relaxed and feeling even better about what comes next.
How have others felt about joining support groups?
