Mood/energy swings.

Hi Sukki17 welcome to the forum.

I think what you are feeling is perfectly normal.

How are you feeling within yourself and I don't mean physically I mean mentally.

I hope that I do not offend you when I ask that but I think you may be like many of us and have your own thoughts in the little quiet times and maybe feel a bit scared and uncertain and maybe feel a bit out of control which it sounds like being very different for you things that we cant always put our fingers on nor express fully but they are there for us all lurking and they affect us.

Its ok to feel like that though, as your life has been turned upside down by an unwanted and uninvited intruder named Breast Cancer.

Sending huge big hugs for now. xxxxx

Thank you so much for getting back to me.  Yes, it is the quiet times where my brain whizzes off to some dark places.. Mentally, I would say that I am OK.. ish...  Just very up and down.. Not normally not really like that.  I think I am probably still in a state of some shock.

Thank you , for saying that my feelings were normal, it made  me feel less alone!

Hi I had a lumpectomy and lymph nodes removed on 2nd April. Operation went well and wound healed nicely, my head on the other hand was all over the place. Everyone was very sympathetic before the op but I then found as soon as the op was over everyone assumed it was all ok now, nothing more to worry about. I was still worried sick, emotional and tired...... the brain fog was something else, I spent most of my time abandoning my conversation mid way. I’d say what you’re feeling is absolutely normal, the shock, worry and insecurities  don’t just disappear with the operation and I found it so helpful to talk, talk to close family, friends or Macmillan helplines, made me feel I was normal. Iv just finished my radiotherapy and I’m still having days like before...... I’m certain as time goes on that feeling will pass, Until then I’m trying all types of relaxation, yoga etc. Really hope you don’t beat yourself up too much, you’ve been through a lot xx
