Feeling low

Firstly, you’re not moaning! If you can’t talk to us, who can you talk to who understands?! The treatment we receive will usually have an after effects leaving us worse off than before the big C! The results of mastectomy, chemo and radiotherapy plus lymph removal, all leave residues of ache/pain/discomfort.  The mental scars are just as bad and obviously when physically we feel rubbish, it has a knock in effect on the mind. I find humour helps and I watch comedies on tv (fav is Plebs and This Country).  Doesn’t solve the issues but lightens the load. Walking is also good if you can’t make the gym and if course great friends/family who will really listen to you. I wish you well xx

Thank you so much

Ive got myself going and out waking !

Will look to watch a funny film later

xx

Hi Dizzydoo , definitely fine to come here to say anything! And you weren’t moaning, just saying it as it is. And it sucks. As  said, we feel worse from the biopsies and treatments than from the cancer! But of course for our future good. 
Glad you got out walking, that’s my main sanity saver. There are times when I feel so tired I could easily sit on the sofa all day (and nothing wrong with that as it’s what’s needed sometimes!) but I know I’ll feel better if I get out. I say to myself, just go and put one foot in front of the other. Once I’m out and about I can usually walk for miles, I feel very lucky in that respect. 
Enjoy your funny film too! Love and hugs, HFxx 

Thank you

I cry lots ️ but I am trying to stay positive.

the tiredness is doing my head in!

hugs to you 

xx

Don't ever apologise for moaning. We all understand what you are going through. It's a definite rollercoaster this cancer journey and you have every right to feel down. As someone else said maybe try a funny movie or binge watch a series like the crown. 

Thank you . I find out the treatment plan tomorrow so that’s scary but a relief in a weird way so I can know what is next for me xx

Definitely getting your treatment plan is good. I found getting that allowed me to plan and prepare which kept me occupied. My mum came with me to my consent appointment and as soon as we left we went to Tesco to buy imodium and soft toothbrush
