I’m having a wobble today arghhh

I’m normally pretty positive- actually very positive. But today I’m having a big wobble.

had lumpectomy and lymph node removal a few weeks ago. Now being scheduled for chemo. I keep worrying about the scans I need first. What if it’s spread more.

im sooo tired today. Can’t do much without getting super tired and it’s worring me.

im just having a wobble because I’m tired but no rest for the wicked with young children around ha.

im planning a nice big bubble bath with a glass of wine tonight once they’re sleeping to chill me out a bit.

just wanted to get it off my chest I think!xxx

  • Hi there ..

    Well you get it off your chest .. (no pun intended) for years I'd hold everything in , then get in the bath, put some soft music on .. and lay back with loads of lovely bubbles ... then cry my heart out ... it was my space to let it all out ...

    You've been through a huge trauma .. one that goes on too .. but if you don't let it out, you'll brake .. so get your self a safe space .. for you .. sinse my diagnosis... if I'm having a bad day .. I say it's o.k ... l have a bad day .. is a let the tears out .. cuss at cancer .. and once it's all out, I'm ready to just back on .. 

    You know the real meaning of brave .. it's being scared witless but still doing what you have to any way..  that's brave ... so you let your self have a down time .. then get back in the ring for round two .. 

    So sending you a vertual hug... Chrissie xx

  • Hello, it's healthy to have a wobble occasionally. I do too. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the beginning of May, had a lumpectomy and now I am having radiotherapy. A glass of wine is a must! Wishing you all the best.

  • I was just short of 69 years old when diagnosed, both of my daughters were with me when I went into not surgery and as they were older, handled it with love and great humor.  Age, lots of hardship, I was not terribly traumatized.  Really needed to stay on earth for certain people, got a virus during chemo and understood what leaving might feel like.  Fought to stay.  I understand that being older made it easier for me to be diagnosed, had stage 2, etc breast mastectomy, many lymph nodes removed.  Hair grew to my waist, this is picture my daughter took this year after I cut my hair.  I joined a mastermind group 10 months ago and am careful of my thoughts and what I speak. Feel great, cancer free and really sending you my best thoughts!!!!

  • Hey

    Hope you are feeling a bit less wobbly. I had a major wobbly meltdown yesterday, the trigger was a trip to a local hairdresser to see if she could wash and blow dry my hair system as I've had my op and can't do it myself and she was asking me questions which I hadn't prepared myself for....got home and had a bit of a meltdown. 
    It happens, I can understand your worry about scans, I was the same, I think it's natural to worry about the unknown and things you can't influence or control, I found that if I acknowledge that I can't influence or control them, and put them into a virtual box under the bed until I have to deal with them it seems to work. 
    As Chriss says don't forget what you've been through, it's ok to have off days (should have taken my own advice yesterday btw).

    big hugs

  • Hi! Thank you.

    i had a really big sleep and feel much better for it. I need to realise I can’t do as much as I used to I’m just mentally and physically exhausted.

    my partner is back this week - he’s been working away for 6 weeks and I absolutely cannot wait haha. Kids have just been kids. But my goodness I’m tired.

    aww no, I think this is it I’m all good but when people fire questions at me I’m just not ready for it and quite simply don’t have a lot of the answers.

    heres to all of us fighting the fight and having a wobble!xxx
