Here is my summary...
-actually hearing the words "it's cancer" is surreal
-your mind goes straight to very dark places
-it is awkward telling other people, but a relief too
-your nurses become your lifeline (Wil has the best)
-do NOT google, but you will anyway and it will scare the shit out of you, but you will learn reliable sources
-you will be sad ALL. THE. TIME.
-it feels weird to be called brave
-it makes you crazy and suspicious of every cough, sneeze ache and every test is questioned
-it is hard to accept help, but there is NO WAY you can get through the first months without it
-mood swings are real, one day you feel like you can take on the world, the next you are sure you are going to be one of those sad stories people tell their friends. TRUTH!
-cancer completely takes over your life
-your appearance is tied to your identity more than you'd like to admit
-it never ends. it's not just a phase, the worrying won't stop, the fear of a reoccurrence or an awful end never goes away.
-time is precious
