Feel like I am in a kind of limbo land at the moment, I had my surgery on the 21st July 2021, and waiting for the results. I've recovered from surgery so am feeling physically alright now, but still have 3 weeks to wait for the results and another 5 (possibly will try to speed it up with going private, thank goodness for BUPA) to start radiotherapy. I'm mentally not able to go back to work until I get the results at least mainly due to coping with the kind of work I do and on the advice of the breast nurse. I won't be working during radiotherapy obviously. There are so many unknowns, how long will I be off? have they removed all of the cancer? Will I need additional surgery? Will the radiotherapy make me poorly? How do I stop boredom eating? Will this really end well and I will I get my old life back after this?
All the time life is going on and one of my close family is going through a difficult time and I'm trying to help them, which also works as a distraction from what's happening with me.
I think I'll have to try some MacMillan meetings, I need to get busy to make this time go quicker. I was wondering what works for others?
