Hi all. This is my first post. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October last year. Things moved very quickly and I had a lumpectomy in November and started chemo in December. I am due to start radiotherapy this coming Friday.
I have found I have become so grumpy and very moody. My poor partner is taking the brunt of it and he is the last person I want to hurt. When I have got a grip on myself I feel awful and always apologise. It's as if I'm pushing him away on purpose.
Has anyone else found they behave like this and if so how do you deal with it?
Thanks

Hi again and welcome again.
The emotions you are experiencing can be very normal as your body is going through a lot at the moment.
On my long journey I found the best way to navigate the various challenges that a cancer diagnosis brings was by talking with people who are on the same journey.
My cancer journey was rather different but if you follow this LINK to our Breast Cancer Forum you will be able to connect with people who understand the journey you are on.
Just join the group and hit the 'Start a Discussion' tab and introduce yourself to the group and remember to go to the right on the group home page and select how you want to receive email notifications when someone answers your posts.
You may also find our various Macmillan Support Line Services on 0808 808 00 00 to be helpful as you can talk to a friendly person that can help in lots of ways.
When you have the time it would be helpful if you could put some information about yourself and the journey that brought you to the Community into your profile as it really does help the Community members to help you and get to know you.
Click on your username and that will take you to your homepage. Look for ‘Edit my Profile’ click on it and start to tell us as much or as little about yourself as you want then click on save before closing the page.
All the best.
