hi im 36 mother of 3 n diagnosed dec 23. ive had 2 ops n 5 of 6 chemo n finding it very hard at mo. feel so peed off n cant get rid of that feeling. would love to chat. x
I went and signed my consent form today, and as she explained the possible side effects both myself and my husband fell about laughing... the surgeon looked at us like we were idiots..... but, I ask you?
"Possible side effects of a bilateral mastectomy.... scarring and loss of breast"
Have I got a warped sense of humour or does anybody else find that funny
I did......
I will come back on here as soon as I am able and let you know how I got on
I am a bit ahead of you and have had 2 lots of chemo, but I can relate to everything you have been saying. My turning point was when I saw the oncologist and he explained the treatment and the positive outcomes of having the treatment. Since then I have felt more positive about things.
You are still recovering from the operation and waiting for results, but I am sure once you start the treatment you will feel better because you are fighting back.
hope you dnot mind me joining this thread i think i am having bit of a wobble at moment dnot want to discuss that with my family as nothing has changed and compared to loads of other stories things have and are going very well for me (i feel particularly pathetic when i see all caz has had to go thru even so far .).i think our time scales are fairly similar. I start cfirst chemo next monday 20th . I still feel positive and kick its butt but just feel bit lost . i think its lack stucture i havent gone back to work as advised (iam nurse so they concerned risk of me getting infection ) seems mad to say miss work and banter i have loads i should /could do at home but cant seem to get into it . I am concentrating are getting stuff ready for my eldest to go to uni we take her to liverpool on sat (5 hour drive )i am so proud of her and will miss her masses. i just want her to have fab time and not worry about me . my youngest is in gcse year and seems ok she is such a lovely girl .my husband works away couple days a week and is finding that very hard i worry about him .
i just feel bit tearful and sad today i hate being a wimp. i hope you dnot mind me wittering on . I love this site has helped me so much. just helps to get things off chest (oops sorry for pun!!!!) and get feedback.
ok have just made list of jobs that need doing and seeing some good friends for luch they will give me good talking to and whip me into shape . going to take dog for walk and clear head
sorry to sound all rubbish i am extremely stubborn and will not let this cr** disease
