Breast cancer

I know the feeling, just recovering from my op, stitches out yesterday.  Awaiting treatment plan.  My poor husband’s bearing the brunt of my anxiety and grumpiness.  I don’t mean to take it out on him, I think he’s just getting the unfiltered version of how I’m feeling.  Anyone else gets my brave face.

I’m feeling exactly the same and am trying so hard not to take it out on my family. I think it’s just part of this horrible process we’re all going through. Please reply to this message if you need to have a rant.

Thank you for replying to me, I didn't know if it was normal to feel like this, I feel very penned in as my husband wants to do everything for me, and I sometimes feel I can't breathe and every time I try to tell him he gets very upset, so I don't tend to try anymore.

The thing is you know they’re only trying to help but sometimes it’s all a bit smothering.   Sometimes you just need time on your own to sort your head out, it’s such a big thing to deal with.  I sneak off for “naps” when I need a break and just lie quietly reading, sometimes even snoozing.  I’ve encouraged him to take up walking again, he stopped when I was first diagnosed, gives us both some “me” time.  

My husband can't walk very far, but I really like the idea of going for naps, I may even escape to my craft room in time,  when my mojo comes back.

 superles  I think that is very normal, getting cancer comes with in my mind a process of grieving in some ways, which encompasses anger, loss, sadness, bargaining, frustration, acceptance, self love, and everything and anything in between.
