I am Monica, I am 57 years old, two years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a left side mastectomy and my nodes were also removed.
I faced the disease using many resources that I already had and others that I went out to find. I am a psychologist with a psychoanalytic orientation, an amateur singer. I learned from my diagnosis to be a meditator and dive into my interiority, beyond psychoanalysis.

When they say the word cancer to you, you feel a death sentence, but that finitude activated me to feel that every minute counted and that I had to find the ways not only of my healing but of my healing

First I felt a lot of guilt for not having done my checks on time, and then I let go of the past and took action because there was no time to lose.

I had a lot of family support, but also a lot of pressure, because those who love you the most are the ones who are most distressed and cannot always face how to help you find peace and tranquility. It was an emotional roller coaster.
