Grade 3 breast cancer

Hi, sorry you're having a tough day, I think we all have times like that.  Don't forget the lovely people here at Macmillan are at the end if the phone, for a chat, advice or just to listen. You can reach them on 0800 808 0000 from 8am - 8pm every day. Best wishes  

Hi BHope  Sorry to hear about your diagnosis.  When are you starting chemo?  The waiting is the worst if you are like me just wanted to get on with it and get it over.  The best bit of advice I was given is to try and keep to normal routine even when having chemo if you can.  This got me through it, getting up walking the dogs, even if it was shorter distance and going to pub for meals etc.  It is so hard but you will get through it.  Sometimes it can be hard trying to be normal for other people.  So you are not alone and this is a safe place to say how you feel as we all know.  Big hugs.

Morning

Half way through my first week after first chemo. I've just sat and put on my make up. Now I'm going to iron. OH thinks I'm quite mad, we are not going anywhere. However I might walk down to the village butcher. I don't go out without my make up. If I've got it on and I get that urge I'll be ready. It's a bright blue day so it will do me good. I'll do hard ironing then go. 

I felt my body had let me down but it's my brain that's going to drag me through this. Be kind to yourself and be honest with the people around you.

Hugs, the waiting is always the hardest bit.

Hi Silverberg,  you are amazing.  I read your bio on the awake thread.  Good on you putting make up on and being ready for the day.  We just have to get on with it the best way we can.  I too try and keep to normal routine and am still in bed   but going to get up put make up on and walk the dogs.

Hugs to everyone
