My name is Kim Hutson. In March 2015, I got the call that no one ever expects. “You have cancer” was the shocking announcement from my doctor’s office. One minute, I was healthy, and the next, well, I might die. Waves of emotion came and went as I tried to digest the news. Shock gave way to fear, which led to panic. What will I tell my family? How will they react? If they cry, I’m going to cry.
As panic gave way to numbness, I researched this breast cancer disease. Life moved in slow motion as I weighed the many confusing options. Apparently, it was up to me to make all the decisions when I was the least educated to do so! I felt so alone even in the midst of the crowd of people around me. I couldn’t discuss my fears with my family and friends. Somehow, I thought I had to emotionally support THEM.
I found that it was easier to talk to others who had been sick previously. I met some sweet people who never tired of my questions. They understood my need to talk about hard subjects like treatments, side effects, and “what-ifs.” My hope is that this group, Hope Anchored, would be that support for you.
