2 weeks post up after mastectomy, nobody informed me of the depression exhaustion and lack of motivation, now I have to visit my g.p. This afternoon as wind site is infected. I thought at least once I left hospital someone would have checked how I was coping. Seems not
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read how you're feeling at the moment and that your wound site is infected. You should have been assigned a BCNS (breast cancer nurse specialist) as a point of contact if you have any problems. If you have it might be worth giving her a call to explain how you're feeling as she may be able to help.
I can see that you've joined the breast cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support. When you're ready to post there clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there where you can start a new post and introduce yourself and also join in with existing conversations.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
