Hi Linz

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling anxious and low, I didn't have the exact same treatment as you (I had lumpectomy, chemo, radiotherapy and now hormone therapy) but I am a year on from my diagnosis and am now getting back into 'normal' life. I have started back at work and am getting ready for the trips and things I booked during treatment. I found it really helpful to get a few things booked once I knew when the end of treatment was likely to be, as it gave me something to look forward to and aim for. I know its easier said than done but try to remember this isn't forever and it will pass.

I had counselling throughout my treatment, and I found that incredibly helpful too. I'm really lucky that I was able to access this at the hospital I had my treatment at, but it may be something to look into if you think you would benefit from it?

Sending lots of love xx

Hi Lara,

I'm feeling better thank you, still very nervous about changing chemo, but I have an appointment with my consultant tomorrow, so hopefully he can put my mind at rest a bit.

I think loosing my hair has really knocked my confidence too

I really think that they should do something now about the hair loss it's massive to us ladies . Why can't they find something it's honestly the biggest set back from treatment, I no people say it will grow back it's temporary it's a s price to pay but to me it's massive and horrifying and I'm with you on this lovely 

I really hope your next set of chemo suits you just think it's halfway so results tgere for sure 

big hugs love Lara ️

Thank you Lara.

Yeh it seems to be the worst thing. Hopefully one day they will find a treatment that doesn't cause hair loss.

Saw my consultant yesterday, he seems to think I'll be OK with the next round, so fingers crossed.

He wants me to have 4 more now not 3, so hopefully chemo will be done with in August, and then I can have surgery.
