Feeling lonely on my journey.

ive not long finished chemo and will be having a mastectomy and reconstruction at the beginning of December. It's been a long 6 months since my diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer. I also split with my partner in January and we are still going through court with regards to our 5 year old son. All I need. My mum has been my rock throughout this. However I still feel lonely. My friends were all there at the start. However weeks can go by without even a text message from any of them. I just want to be normal. I cry every day. Usually through self pity. I no I should be grateful that I'm still here. Is there anyone I can talk to. X

  • Hi rileyroo. 

    I get my nails done for the same reason. Think it's just that I have all these other things going on aswell. Court over my son. Then my nan goes and gets her angel wings last night aswell. I'm just overwhelmed. 

     

  • Hi weenie. 

     

    thank you you for your reply. I am trying to get to a support group. Just want to get these court issues out of the way. Following this we have my mans funeral as she sadly passed away last night. She was 96 and ready to go. Feel like it's all pilling up on top of me and I'm going go drown. X

  • You can always talk to me aswell little kitt. Maybe I can do the same for you. X

  • Oh poor you, you’ve really got a plateful at the moment. Put you and your son first, you’re what matters now. Your nan will be a lovely memory when you get over the shock and can grieve and you must grieve to be able to carry on with your life, your nan wouldn’t have wanted you to live a misrerable life so be gentle and don’t expect too much from yourself. 

  • Hi 

    just saw your post and felt the need to message you. 

    I’m feeling much the same atm and awaiting a bone scan tomorrow, it is a lonely journey with friends and family, because it’s easier for them to believe life goes on as normal but for us it’s a daily battle to stay positive and not let the dark thoughts get the better of us. 

    Stay strong, those of us on this journey know how it feels and are here to chat and encourage xxx

  • hi Deb53

    I came to the end of my journey in March last year. I have been back at work for almost a year now. I go for my second annual mammogram next month. It comes round so fast and is always scary. I’ve had more operations to make my other breast the same as the reconstructed one. Still have plenty of other appointments to attend aswell due to now being in the early menopause. We sadly also lost my dad 6 months ago. My neighbours daughter who was 32 also passed away from bowel cancer in january. I’m hoping things will start to improve now. Thank you for the message.
