I had breast cancer 2 years ago. I was 32 weeks pregnant when I found out, I had also just come out of hospital a few days before I found out with phnumonia and a collapsed lung.

The day i found out I had breast cancer I was on my own, and instantly threw up.

I wasnt scared as I had the new baby to think about.

I moved 150 miles the same week to be with my new partner, ( babies father )

From there things went from bad to worse.

I feel I have coped well, but now 2 years down the line, I am really struggling, mind wise, I feel low, tired, crying all the time, ugly, poor excuse for a mother and so on.

I have been trying to get in to some sort of counselling, but really dont know where to start.

I just want to ball my eyes out now, but I cant because my children are about, 'sigh'

Well looks like I will just have to plod on, hoping these horrible feelings go away.

Hi Lorraine, it sounds like you might be suffering from depression. I think that cancer and depression often go hand in hand. A word with your GP might start you on the right road.

In the meantime, like Terri says, we are all here for you on this site and completely understand how you are feeling. I am sure you will find loads of support on here.

I hope you feel much better soon.

Best wishes, Christine xx

Hello Lorraine, I agree with Christine, you may have depression, go and see your doctor who will help you get sorted. In the mean time keep in touch with us and tell us what's happening. Wishing you to be well, Linda xx
