young breast cancer

I dodged the many calls, texts, emails and messaging through social media. I didn’t want to talk abo ut me, cancer and anything in between. I drifted into avoidance and depression. My life as I knew it was spinning out of control. People reached out and I ran the other way. I didn’t want pity or to deal with others emotions and I certainly didn’t want to tell my horrific story over and over again.
