Hi there I was on here a few days ago. I have my lumpectomy on the 24 November, yesterday had a radioactive seen put In. Is it normal to feel as though this is all happening to someone else or is it my loony way of coping xxx I have been reading lots of your posts but my head is now in the shed x

  • No I reckon that’s our minds way of just getting through. It hits you some time later at 3am usually 

  • I imagine it as an “out of body” experience, I know it’s happening but at the same time it’s not. I feel detached but then at night my mind gets it’s own back and replays everything, like a bad programme on repeat. 

  • Hey Ana. 

    Thinking of u today. Its funny what you say about 3am we are so similar! It's prob the quietest time and our mind wanders  lol

    Tell u what...a lot of emotions you feel makes you human. Rest assured you're not loony. I told the surgeon its not me..you got the wrong person! Till she showed me my MRI! Oh OK. Reality hits! I had mastectomy Tues this week...and woke up from procedure crying my eyes out then,  started laughing as I rbered my partners funny dances he makes to cheer me up. So one minute crying next minute laughing. So u tell me...loony or not. Its a process we all go through. U cry or laugh you cope somehow. I am so sorry you found yourself here. But the ladies here have been really such great support to me every step of the way. The world seems a lonely place but here you are embraced with all warmth and kindness....((hugs)))

    I didn't find it difficult at all. I guess I was lucky - keep waiting for side effects (more than a month after it finished) but aside from fatigue, I've got off very lightly. I've blogged about it on this site if you are interested in reading more. community.macmillan.org.uk/.../chestnuts-radiotherapy-tattoos-and-linear-accelerators
