Anger and feeling isolated

I'm trying to be really open about it, discussing, accepting help and support. Not got tthe angry stage yet. Maybe your anger is hormonal changes? 

Yes that's what I'm thinking, but my partner is find8ng this really hard as he is the closest one to me and it get directed at him

Hi 

so sorry to hear you are feeling angry. I haven’t yet been prescribed hormone blocker, but I will. I am dreading this as I suffered greatly with menopause symptoms so took HRT. Which really helped, especially with mood swings and anger and other symptoms such as insomnia and hot flushes. I am sure you will  know Tomoxifen blocks most of your  oestrogen, therefor you will go into the menopause. This could have been one of your symptoms. Try explaining to your GP so he can prescribe something to help.

I would really recommend you listen to Dr Louise Newsons podcasts on the menopause and breast cancer to help you make the right choice for you.

Thank you for the reply. I have not started the hormone blocker yet. The anger has been from the beginning of developing cancer up until now

Many thanks 

I havent had cancer but am supporting my mum through terminal cancer.

I think you need to be kind to yourself, you have undergone a huge diagnosis followed by life changing surgery.  Anger is understandable.

Try to do anything you can to look after yourself, be it baths, having nails done, getting a massage and make sure you have some free time just for you.

When and if you can try and talk through your feelings.

Thoughts are with you x

I think so. I’m generally a cheerful person but my moods feel on a knife edge. I do think the hormonal changes are part of it and I think, we’ll in my case, the ‘fussing’ from close friends and family doesn’t help. I snapped at my mum and daughter yesterday, everytime I move one of them says should you be doing that, can I do that, be careful, etc!! Drives me nuts!!! I told them, I’m a bloody grown woman, leave me alone!!

Just a thought. Have you tried vit b6.
