What an overwhelming week. Is this for real? How can K be so calm? How can she be so quickly resigned? What effect have the last 3+ stressful years been?  Is she filled with regrets?

The diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma came on Wednesday May 4. I’ll live to tell the story and become a survivor, but I don’t know the path. I’m angry and sad and hurt. My body has betrayed me. I let myself become overwhelmed with stress in the last year and this is one outcome. I want to turn back time. Was this always an outcome?
