thank you, I do think sometimes the mind plays tricks x

thank you for taking the time to post. Sounds like you have been through so much and yet you take the time to comfort others.

I agree, the body and mind can have a negative impact on you, and I'm constantly questioning myself.

I wish you all the luck in the world. Only today I said to a friend of one more person says you'll be fine.... .  But  else can they say?

Take care x

Hi

I'm glad that's over with for you now, I know the waiting now is terrible.  Try to keep busy and stay positive.

I'm using my arm well now and the scars are healing well. Saw the breast nurse yesterday as I was a little worried about how the breast was feeling, not a lump but like a bulge on the side. She said it's fluid though so that's better that I was  worrying about.  So that worry stops and I stated getting numbness in my fingers. Feels just constant at the moment like I've got to be worrying about something or other all the time.

My chemo starts tomorrow, Quite anxious but I'll let you know how it goes.  So far other than 2 weeks of after surgery, my life has carried on as  normal. I'm planning on working through chemo just 3 days a week if I feel well enough. My bosses have said to just do what I feel up to.

What I find the most frustrating is not being able to plan anything, it feels like my life is on hold for next 6 months or so.

I haven't read too much about hormone treatment, which is very strange for me. I normally like to know everything and be in control, but to be honest I don't want to know too much about anything at the moment. All I know it's that I want to stop these hormones from doing what they have done to me again, so I'm fine with the treatment.

Take care, rest up x

Hi Christine

The word chemo seems to terrify most people. I also find if you do too much research it just puts more strain and creates unneccesary worrying. Take it as it comes and fight it head on,there is not much more one can do. Atleast we know it is doable. Keeping busy and things as normal as possible makes it easier I suppose. Am pleased that your boss is supportive as well.

All if the best on your journey,eapecially with the chemo.
