Breast cancer x

Hi, I'm ell and have not long finished my breast cancer journey. Pretty horrific but hopefully a better future ahead. I was triple negative stage 3 pretty aggressive so hope to god I've seen the back of it. Still a little lonely and scared at times so thought I'd join you're lovely group. I'm 43 and a mum and nana to one lovely daughter. I've just had some hair extensions done to give me back so femininity. I know a lot of you out there will feel like me so if you want to take a look at then go to sandras hair and beauty salon on facebook it's hair in recovery ith raccoon so please like I'm no2, like It xx I really wanted to share this with all the ladies that are struggling xxx 

 

How do you move on from the dark that follows and the heaviness in your heart. If you have any tips or techniques I'd love to read them x 

  • Hi Ell ...... welcome to the forum and i am so pleased for you that your treatment has finished and life is returning to its 'new normal'.  I am rubbish at computer-type things and tried to put you a link to When the Treatment Finishes .... then what? by Doctor Peter Harvey.  However, I couldnt work it out, but suggest you google it.  Its an article he wrote which he read at a seminar and is really really helpful (only a few pages long).  Maybe print it out and read it when you are having your 'heavy' days.

    There are many here who understand your feelings so please come and chat when needed.  I have made some lovely friends here and hope you do too.  xx

    Hi, thanks for the reply and info. I'm new to this so I'll try and check out the link you've kindly shared. Sounds like you've had a hell of a journey but nice to hear you're trying to keep your chin up as much as you possibly can. A fighter I think. You're an ineration. 

    Sounds like you live for your family too. That's the bit I'm finding scary. You've probably gone through all these early fears I'm discovering that just won't shift. Life feels so unfair at times. But then I look at the news and see people's lives end with the click of a finger 

    Your so very kind bringing me into something unknown that I'm not sure where it will even take me xxxxxxx

    I'm guessing you're a dog lover too. I have two little bichons that have been right by my side. X
