Hi everyone
looking for a bit of advice on how to navigate my nearest and dearest. I have stage 1 invasive ductal cancer grade 2. I had a therapeutic mammoplasty last Thursday and am now waiting to find out if it’s plan A radiotherapy or whether I will need additional treatment. My recovery from the op is going well - minimal pain and good arm mobility - just a bit tired and emotional. So all good - except i appear to have done such a good job of minimising concerns to stop my partner and adult daughters worrying that I now feel I’m not really getting any empathy or support. I don’t want to go around reminding them I have cancer and I don’t want them tip toeing around me either. But I would also like them to acknowledge that we are not yet in situation normal. Anyone else experienced this?
