I'm sorry this has happened to you. Exposure to chemicals in water I had read about liver and blood cancers, but never BC. I'll have to do more reading on the subject. Have you listen to: Topic: Podcast: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder After a Cancer Diagnosis ? Are you seeing a social worker or psychologist to help you with your PTSD? I think someone else posted try to take one small step every day and accept support from those who love you. Try just walking every day. You deserve to be happy.

thank you, flashlight and moderators. The military base where I was exposed was camp Lejeune in NC. 18 different diseases are covered. I do have a therapist and am typically able to function but have had a flurry of stressors in the last few weeks. So may be complaining more than usual. Therapist told me to take a few days off to recover and I could be better at that. If anyone knows of a Telehealth clinician who works with couples and ptsd, we could use that! Mostly I meditate each day, walk a mile 4-5x/week, do some yoga. But was Uber active (5 mile hikes were a weekly standard) before cancer and complications. So maybe it’s a small setback that feels big. Looking forward to listening to the podcat
