I found out today that I need chemo. I have been telling everyone including myself that I have got my head around d this. The truth is I'm terrified. It's bad enough that I have one breast, then no hair? I feel hideous!!

I'm terrified of the side effects, the chance of recurrence, I scored 44 on the oncotype test. My head is spinning. Can't sleep but so tired.

Hi mermaids wishes! Just read your blog and wanted to wish you well! Lots of people get through chemo without too many problems! I hope you will be one of them! Just read your profile + you mentioned having problems in theatre during surgery! What happened? Gillx

Hi Gill,

There were problems with the tube down my throats and fluid from my stomach went into my lungs. I ended up in a coma. I'm okay now. It's taken a lot longer to recover than I thought. Xx

In the spare room. That's what happens when you pour your heart out to your partner and don't get the response you feel

You warrant.

I have never felt so alone and unsupported. I can't do anything right. I'm still on maternity leave and feel like a maid!!! When do I get a break. So low right now.
