Hi there.

Bit anxious about this- never posted about my diagnosis and have kept knowledge of it low key. About to have final treatment post surgery which will be radiotherapy.

I've done ok I guess with the emotional load but my mom died recently and I can’t process anything that’s happened to me because I’m knee deep in sorting out her estate ( god bless her).

Im not ok and I don’t want to burden my husband with any more - he has been so fabulous I just can’t share some of the really grotty things I’m thinking and feeling.

if anyone has any advice I’d appreciate it.
thank you

You’re welcome to share feelings, ask for advice or just vent here. Talk to your BCN or a trusted friend but please don’t forget that your husband might be hurt if he thinks you don’t feel you can lean on him or that you’re keeping things from him.

I wish you well

Thank you.
I’ve tried to talk to him and he is sympathetic but I’m finding myself getting upset because I don’t want the torrent to hit him. Scared to death that the operative scar and impacts of aromatase inhibitors are making him revolted by me.
I’m revolted by me.

I have tried to make space and say I need to connect with him but it’s fallen on deaf ears or he is struggling too.

What to do?
