Default How do you cope emotionally with having Breast Cancer?

Just wanted some advise from people not directly involved!
I have had treatment recently and surgen assures me that everything has been taken away, but i am having trouble emotionally, as all i think about are my three kids!

With groups and family and Friends.

Also, keep in mind breast cancer is very beatable today. It'll be a rough road, but it'll be doable. (I treat cancer for a living)

Unfortunately, I'm not a woman but I can say that of the women I have known with it, a good attitude and GOOD support make all the difference! It can be devastating, and leaving all medical treatments aside, the support of your partner, and a good support group of other survivors, and solid faith in God can work miracles in attitude and recovery.

I've never had breast cancer Nay Nay, there was a point a few years ago where I had a few abnormal smears and had to have some cells removed, obviously I thought the worst, and because I've got kids my main concern was them, I'm a great believer in fate and everything in life happens for a reason, you just have to learn the lessons and stay optimistic!

You should seek the help of a psychologist and consider anti depressant meds. Most cancer patients are in some form of emotional therapy and I personally think everyone should be seeing a psychologist. You should also try to find a support group. One locally or even one online.
