Feel so alone going through chemo in Bury St.Edmunds, 36 3 young children… could do with talking to someone going through the same thing EPI/CMF
Dear Liz123
I am sorry to hear that you having to go through all of this. I live just outside Cambridge and had EC/TAX for 6 months. You haven’t said how young your children are, mine are 7 and 9 and have coped really well.
I am sure that you will get lots of support from this website and BCC offer a peer support service which I found really useful.
with love and prayers

Dear Wizzbaby (Pauline)
Thanks for your reply, I live 10 miles from Bury St.Edmunds, I have 2 boys 10 and 8 and a little girl of 4, my husbands been great can’t complain at all I just feel alone sort of mentally some days, I suppose I’m used to being so busy and I just feel like I’ve grinded to a slow halt and the hair thing, I seem to have lost a lot of confidence in myself, the children have been great there full of fun all the time, its what keeps me going. I could just do with someone whos been through it to talk to so I don’t feel so alone.
I may try and call the BCC peer support, thanks I looked at the leaflet last night amonst a huge bundle of hospital paperwork.
Thanks love
Lizzie
Hi Lizzie
I thought you may also find of interest a couple of Breast Cancer Care’s services for younger women, firstly The telephone support group for younger women, this has been developed specifically for women in their 20s and 30s who have been diagnosed with primary invasive breast cancer. The aim of the group is to give you the opportunity to talk privately and confidentially to other women around the UK with similar experiences. Secondly the Younger Women’s Forum, these provide information and the chance to meet others in similar circumstances, these two-day events are for women aged 20-45 who have been diagnosed with breast cancer during the last three years. For more information on these and Breast Cancer Care other support services either call the helpine on 0808 800 6000 Mon-Fri 9am-5pm and Sat 9am-2pm or email <script type=“text/javascript”>eval(unescape(‘%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3c%61%20%68%72%65%66%3d%22%6d%61%69%6c%74%6f%3a%69%6e%66%6f%40%62%72%65%61%73%74%63%61%6e%63%65%72%63%61%72%65%2e%6f%72%67%2e%75%6b%22%3e%69%6e%66%6f%40%62%72%65%61%73%74%63%61%6e%63%65%72%63%61%72%65%2e%6f%72%67%2e%75%6b%3c%2f%61%3e%27%29%3b’))</script>.
