Feeling emotional

Hi Hawk sorry to hear you've had some challenges, I hope you get back on track soon.  Best of luck with the scan,

Thanks irish girl for replying,I can't say my journey has been easy but one step at a time and one day at a time helps a bit.

Hi Hawk

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with breast cancer.  It's perfectly understandable that you are feeling emotional after what you've been through.  Finishing treatment can be a bit of an anti climax particularly as your treatment was cut short.  The fact that you missed out on your last treatment shouldn't make too much of a difference to the outcome.

Best of luck with your scan next week.

Best wishes

Hi Hawk,  sorry you are feeling down.  I understand how you feel! I was also diagnosed in July. I  thought initially that I’d get away with surgery only (I had a mastectomy & reconstruction) and it would all be done & dusted by the end of the summer!

Sadly that was not the case & I ended up having to have chemo too which makes the whole treatment process a lengthy hard marathon - I have had 5 cycles & 3 more left!  I have days where I feel total despair & just want my old life back! 

It is sometimes hard to see light at the end of this very long treatment tunnel but it will happen! xxx 

Hi Daisy53,  I read your profile & saw that you live in Tramore! I went there as a child for holidays & have fond, hazy memories of it (a long time ago!) Am feeling nostalgic now & need to plan a trip to Ireland once this is over :) 

Thanks daisy for your reply,much appreciated. 

Thanks meaning for your reply,it does seem so long,like it's never going to end at times.Im sorry your journey turned a different path than you expected to go on.,we can do this,we will do this and we will both come out of the tunnel defeating this monster!!!

It is tough being on this road. You have done chemo now and your poor body is so tired. It is normal to feel emotional as you lift your head above the parapet to breathe. These gaps are often a time to reflect and wonder what happened. Thinking of you as you wait for your surgery and final treatment plan. X
