Hi I have been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, oestrogen receptor and need radiotherapy and maybe chemo.
I had surgery about 6 weeks ago to remove 2 lumps and 3 lymph nodes from my left breast.
I had my final checkup with my surgeon 1 week ago and now I have deep feelings for my surgeon and have not stopped crying since then. I feel very rejected as I am not going to see him anymore.
I can't seem to shake this feeling and wondered if anyone has experienced the same and how they got over it. I feel a deep urge to go and see my surgeon which I know is not a good idea without am appointment but I feel very rejected.
