I hope this works this time
I had breast cancer last sept and had a lumpectomy onOCT 1ST AND sentinel node biopsy and then another lumpectomy on Oct 22
i then had radiotherpay for 3.5 weeks .i am now on Zolodex and Tamoxifen
Even though I finished rads on Jan 8th .I still have swelling in my right breast it hurts first thing on the morning
Not only that but I also found out that my partner had an affair ,and i am finding all of this really difficult ,i know I am lucky than most but why do I keep crying , I am tearful even writing about all of this .I dont know whether its me ,the medication or everything.Life feels pretty empty at the moment and I have no one to talk to .

i am still totally devastated to have lost my left breast, you have every reason to feel upset, and don't ever feel that you are lucky, non of us who have had cancer are lucky, but then i think we may feel more in tune with ourselves then some people who don't have cancer so who knows? are you still with your partner? i can't imagine how it would feel if my hubby did that to me, god knows, i am no longer an option in the bedroom for sex, that went with the breast, but i like to think he loves me for me. as if we don't go through enough without this happening to you as well xxxxxxxxxx penny43, please do not ever feel alone, we will all try to support you on here as best as we can
