I couldn't be superwoman

I'm one of the people that is going to look at the experience and try and make a determination that all of these positives came into my life as a result of the breast cancer. And that's the Polly Anna side of me. There is also another side of me that's very realistic, and there certainly were some very dark times. There's fatigue, there's a side of feeling despondent, that it's almost too much to handle. There's this element of I'm not a Superwoman anymore. I mean, I can't take care of my children, I can't keep up the job and deal with cancer at the same time. Something has to got to give here. Accommodations have got to be made.
