Hi
its me again. Feeling very down and emotional today. Slept 12 hours last night and wish I woke up feeling refreshed and awake but I don’t. Just feel so negative. Got a cough which is scaring me to death but trying to put it down to when I’m stressed ... I cough. I’ve done it all my life, but it’s been playing on my mind. I’ve got more biopsies scheduled for my already bruised breast tomorrow and just thinking about it makes me feel sick. I just feel hopeless, down and not coping today. Sorry for the negativity
Hey
No need for apology
we all can wake up low ,we've a lot if crap to cope with .So what to do about it ?
We can't make crap go away
Remembering we're all different and what works for me won't necessarily work for others
This is some of the things I. Try to do
Go for walk , gardening ,baking basically something to make me get up and go .I find it helps to distract me . I'm off to do a little bit of painting in the garden . The garden is my chemo project . Mainly directing hubby on what to put where lol
We can't make problem disappear you will still need to do app. Etc but for a little while you might get that calm feeling back .

When I had my staging scans and was waiting for the results I became so tense that my entire back ached to touch. I was convinced it had spread to my lungs to the point when I went to visit my uncle in Edinburgh I went to their A&E and had an x- ray! Of course the x- ray wouldn't have picked up small tumours, but it made me feel a bit better to the point of leaving ther hospital in tears!
You'll only know what's going on in reality when the results are back, and it's all that you have to wait even after the team know, but that's how it is. Hopefully time will pass quickly, especially if you can find things to keep you busy while you wait xxx
Thank you for the replies. Just needed to get it out of me head x
