I think it's completely understandable that you've cried. I saw my gp about the fatigue Friday. She's given me a short prescription but I've not filled it yet. Enjoy your nails hun x

Sometimes I ask why me what have I done for this to happen to me the surgeon is giving me 2 weeks off work getting the lump removed and lymph nodes hopefully they get all of it x

Evening me dear 

Wow u are being kept in overnight.... my hosp - we didn’t even get a bed! Went in and got an allocated chair lol. Walked to the op theatre but they did give us a wheelchair back... to our chairs lol. Nurse asked how I felt - said fine. Pop ur clothes on then and I’ll bring u some tea nd toast. Got dressed had tea nd toast - they took my BP then said t ring to b picked up to go home. When daughter text t say arrived nurse walked with me to the car nd waved me off. :-)  :-) :-) 

 I was at the shops ( again) 3 days after op nd bumped into one of the ladies who were in the same day case room as me. She too was doing really well nearly didn’t catch her cos she was walking at such a rate of knots ( she’s  70 yrs young:-)

Go u treating yourself... love it:-). I finished treatment in the nov then was Xmas so in the Jan went on a wks spa break.....bliss:-)

Nd just gotta b said...aren’t daughters just the best:-)

I know how easy it is to start going down the why me road. Unfortunately that road leads to nowhere. You won't find an answer to that question. Im not saying it's easy and you have to deal with it your way. However If you dwell on it you will get completely overwhelmed by it. Plus you give it the power to dictate how you think and feel. I won't give it that power. It's here. I'm here. Who is stronger.....me! I will get through it. And I will get through it with style and laughter. You got this Nikki x

Go u treating yourself u deserve it:-)

let us know how u get on at docs tomorrow... will b thinking of u x

Wow Sandra. I love you got an allocated chair!!!! My daughter's have been amazing. One was with me on day I got results as my partners uncle was getting buried that day so I made him go. I'm learning fast that a positive attitude and treats to look forward to are the way to beat what this thing wants to do to your spirit. I just hope I keep this up and it's not just a big front with nothing to back it up lol x

Thank you Sandra xx

Hi Nikki,

Oh boy did I feel tired!

I didn't sleep well at night.  Between night sweats and, my mind going into overdrive in the early hours of the morning, I felt as if I was walking in a trance. However I fell asleep on any form of transport, or when trying to watch TV.

Eight years on I am still tired, but not as totally exhausted as I used to be and can now manage a short journey without falling asleep. I still have to pace myself if I want to do anything on a particular day.

It's a drawback, but it's liveable with.

I wonder how others feel. Has the tiredness stayed with you, or did you eventually get rid of it?

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
