Hi trying to be positive

Hi Diagnosed with breast cancer 6 weeks ago, big op on Monday, Feeling like someone has taken a baseball bat to my life and wrecked it all. Can glue it back together but it wont ever be the same or as good. It might not even fix. Keep saying every day when i wake up,  be positive, positive thoughts are what will get me through. Use yoga to calm me down normally, it isnt working too well at the moment.  Take comfort from seeing people who have come out the other side. People say i am a very strong person, and i am in normal life, but this is so hard.

  • Hi there ... those early days before ops and treatment are the most scary ... please let your heart have the space to let all those feelings out ... the unknown is always worse ... I'm nearly 5 months post op .. and it really wasn't that bad ... and just keep in your mind they are taking that horrible cancer out your body .. 

    One of our ladies was home by tea time, with a cupper on the evening of her op .. posting on here ... I was in a little longer, as few probs  ... but it was definitely easier then my hysterectomy... just make sure you do the exercises your given as I found it was a bit sorer  under arm where lymph node was taken, then the scar ... it's not a walk in the park, but the sooner you get sorted, the sooner you'll be more settled ... there's lots of us breast ladies on here .. and we all found the wait difficult ... try and keep busy as poss ... let your loved ones share this journey with you ... they are probably as scared as you ... but walking this journey together, with hugs, a hand to hold, a few tears, but doing those together will see you through ..

    They say it's like a rollercoaster ride ... ups and downs, and you need to hold on tight as it's a bumpy ride .. but here we are, still here telling the tail ... and whatever you feel along the way .. you can put it on here and know we do understand ... so sending you a big hug ... chrisie xx 

  • Chriss, you are doing the right thing being positive  ...and take step by step a  hug with the best whishes that you will be ok in time ....
