So unreal

I've posted a few comments under topics started by others. I love the fact that I can read the comments and relate to them.
But I'm just wondering if anyone else feels as I do. I attend all my appointments, deal with any pain I have but I still feel that this is happening to someone else. If I had to tell someone the date I was diagnosed or had my lumpectomy I would have to look it up on the calender. Its as if I'm blocking all this out of my mind.
After the initial shock its as if its not happening. Maybe its a good way to deal with it but I'm kinda afraid that it will hit me some time soon.
Hi Hollyr, you have sent a reply to my topics. I am glad some one else feels the same as me.
When I was told I had cancer my husband said you would have thought they told me I had a common cold. I just felt nothing, just wanted to know the next steps to cure it. Then 3 1/2 weeks and after my lumpectomy and lymph node op ,they could remove all of the cancer. and they have told me I no longer have cancer. I am delighted, but I have not even got my mind around the fact that I had cancer and now I don't. My mind is in such a muddle. I will have to get radiotherapy, hormone treatment, ( chemo ? ) to keep the cancer from returning. The nurse did say that this is a lot for my mind and body to take in, in such a short time and that it may not hit me till maybe a month later. I wonder what type of melt down I will have then. Take care. G x
