Emotional Wreck

Hi NPS, sorry to hear of your diagnosis. It’s great news everything has come back clear and you have been able to start tamoxifen and have finished your last radiotherapy. It’s an emotional rollercoaster ride for everyone and we all know what you are feeling and going through. Please don’t feel like a fraud, this must have been one of the hardest things you have had to go through. I too worry about every lump and bump now. Some I am sure have been there for years but it’s just now that everything seems to be noticed as we are so sensitive. 
It’s great that you have come to the online chat forum, there will be others to that will relate to how you are feeling and will also offer there support. Maybe you have a Macmillan or Maggies Centre near you that could offer some councilling to help. I find it’s good to talk to people and sometimes people we don’t know are easier to speak to than people we do know but that maybe more difficult for others. We are all very different and have different coping mechanisms.

Take care, hugs from cuffcake x x x x x

Thanks Cuffcake, I have spoken to a Macmillan advisor and she has been really helpful. My breast nurse has also been really good. I have a lump under my arm and same side as original lump. I have been seen by consultant and they are going to do a scan mid December just to put my mind at rest as she thinks it is a lymph node and it probably is but is still making me jumpy.

Hi NPS, I glad you have been able to speak with people that’s great . I can imagine how jumpy you are I know I am the same. It’s strange how before being diagnosed when I had odd sensations or bumps I didn’t really think much of it, now I’m just scared and what everything checked. It’s good to hear they will do a scan to check wishing you all the best and let us know how things go.
