Hello,
I had a mastectomy about 6 weeks ago including a clearance. My body doesn't really feel like mine and I wondered if anyone can relate?
I'm also about to start chemo which will likely result in hair loss. I'm off work and struggling to find the energy to do much anyway. .
It's all a bit scary!
Hi, it's a tough time for us, physically and emotionally so try to be kind to yourself. I didn't have a mastectomy, but I did lose my hair during chemo and whilst it was a shock, I do have to say I really enjoyed having a wig and that made me feel more normal again.
You mentioned you're off work and have no energy. Something that helped me cope with the treatment was walking. I don’t mean for miles on end, but getting outside every day really helped my energy levels and mood.
best of luck with your chemo when it starts
