Angry and fed up

Hi! You can feel however you feel! its ok to be angry. Yes, it's hard when people give you their advice when they have no idea how you feel. 

I have been on letrozole for 6 months - initially I did have some bone aches but it's really calmed down and have very little side effects. I am on abemaciclib too which is also ok, just very tired. we are all different and some people have much worse side effects than others of course. I was determined to counteract side effects (not sure I am managing it!?) but have started being consistent with exercise - and it helps for mind and body. you can only do what you can do.

That said, I am grateful that these drugs are available- the alternative is not being here - but that is my case, my cancer was stage 3 , locally advanced - so it depends on what perspective you are coming from. but I am not for one moment saying you should shut up and be grateful - this is all pretty s**t, whatever your diagnosis

Anger is a very normal response. People do look and think it is all over when really it is never over. The cut it out of your boob, They didn’t cut it out of your brain. That little bit that says “ What if….” 
Anger is a normal part of grief and everyone accepts that and I do feel we have a type of grief. Sadness over how we were and how we are now. It takes a lot of courage to go through this. Every now and again we should feel pissed off. 
You came to the right place for a rant because we all know exactly where you are coming from and I bet you feel calmer already. 
Round of applause for the lady stamping her feet.

I’d say angry is pretty normal reaction and there’s nowhere to hang that anger as it’s all so random, come on here to vent, and sooooo many people say silly things, unless they’ve been there they can’t comprehend how everything has changed for you and that you are never quite the same after a cancer diagnosis and that actually the radical treatment has finished but you are still undergoing treatment which has a consequence for you. Huge hugs to you and take each day as it comes x
