Hello
I've just been diagnosed with invasive ductal cancer grade 3 triple negative I'm so scared is anyone going through the same?
Well I made it through one whole day at work and have taking the dog for a walk . I’m really tired now , but must say it was nice to feel normal for a while .
How is everyone doing xxx
Great ! This is what you need to do more of while you can.
Thanks V while I can still work at home this has helped a lot today . I’m not up to going out into schools but luckily I have a very understanding line manager who is happy for me to come in and out . How you doing ?
Thanks , me and the word normal in the same sentence is quite a rarity. How you doing today xxx
Great news about work and feeling more normal.
I was prepared for the shedding of the hairs on my head but no where in all my reading does it mention the pubes go first!!!
I know right , when I lost hair I wasn’t even considering that happening . My hair pretty much all fell out the day before my 2nd EC cycle . Xx
I know what you mean, there's nothing specific in the leaflets I was given, just reference to 'possible loss of other body hair'. Think they could at least print a small warning so that it isn't so much of a surprise when it happens! I'm finding it's slow to grow back too, whereas my legs are now in 'hair bear bunch' territory........
Working not as easy as I had hoped . I am so tired after only 3 days . Rest over weekend me thinks xxx
