<p>It is now 3 weeks since the bottom dropped out of my world and I was told i had Breast Cancer. I've discovered that the fact that i have the disease doesn't particularly bother me, S**T happens, what I really can't stand is the lack of privacy.</p>
<p>I hate being poked and prodded and treated like a piece of steak, which has led to various medical professionals being treated to the rough edge of my tongue. So far I've chewed a new backside for Bob the Butcher (Surgeon) and Dr Crippen's less than able assistant. I've just started on Tamoxifen to try to shrink the tumour prior to surgery. I appreciate the why, but I'd cope better if they would just operate.</p>
<p>How long does this C**P actually go on for? I really don't think I actually have the tolerance levels required for this. I kind of hoped it would be surgery, bit of Radiotherapy maybe, reconstruction.</p>
<p>Having read various blogs and forums, I don't ever think I'll get to calmly accepting or stoicism. I'm not knocking it! being angry all the time is exhausting.</p>
<p>Worryingly, Dr Crippen says Tamoxifen might make me moody and irritable, Oh! Dear!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=433167&AppID=31966&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember
