Why am I not afraid?

I recenltly got diagnosed with IDC Stage 1, I am 60 years old. I go in for surgery on August 12th, 2022 for a lumpectomy with adjacent tissue transfer and a lymph node biopsy. When I got the news my lump was indeed cancer, I tried to cry, but couldn't. I really don't feel anything, sad, scared etc... I feel the presence of God with me, but that is not to say no other lady on this site has not. I feel like I should be afraid but I don't. Am I the only one that feels this way?

    I was also recently diagnosed with IDC Stage 1 at the age of 64 in April. I have had two lumpectomies (margins not clear the first time) but luckily nothing in the lymph nodes. Start on radiation next week. You are not alone. I was not scared - I felt lucky it was caught early and it was something I just had to deal with, and I am looking forward to having it behind me. Everyone processes it different, but I find being positive helps me. Good luck with your journey.
