Everything from the visit to the gp then the one stop breast clinic appointment to lumpectomy ,endocrine treatment commencement and the radiotherapy which starts next week has been flawless BUT l don’t feel sick and it’s not helped by folks telling me ‘you are so brave. Has anyone else gone through this strange mental experience
Hi Dizzy Di firstly do great to hear your treatment is going well. I think, from my own experience and what I read from others on here, that having cancer can trigger some new emotions and feelings, especially in response to other people. Personally I managed to see the “good” in everyone's questions and comments and I somehow let it wash over me. I take the view that when people say things it comes with good intentions and they really can’t imagine how I'm feeling so I was just grateful that everyone was trying to be helpful and supportive, best wishes

We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
