Managing the Holidays and Breast Cancer - how are you coping?
The holidays can bring lots of emotions — and lots of people. How do you handle gatherings, conversations, ongoing check-ins, or expectations from loved ones this time of year?

this year is much better that last year. I went through radiation treatment from 12/19/24 to 1/17/25. This year I am focusing on gratefullness for being NED. I am also trying to not be concerned about what I could be doing to reduce risk of getting it again.

Thank you for sending out the email message. It has crossed my mind several times and helped me manage my expectations of myself during this time of "holiday festivities." :) Nothing has to be perfect or "just so" anymore. It is what it is and is working for me. Decorations are cute and do-able to put away without feeling overwhelmed. I'm having a bit of struggle with the cooking/baking though. I'm still working with what my mind wants to do vs. what my trigger fingers and carpel tunnel on both wrists are screaming at me. The pain seems to be in the lead right now.
Happy Holidays. :)
