Hi Celia
Please dont put yourself down-your’e not a wimp-far from it. Just because you havnt had as much physical pain as you expected, dosen’t mean the emotional trauma is any less.
It is a year since my op and I found it was a real up and down process so go easy on yourself and take care as you recover.
Crying is a great release and we shouldnt feel bad for doing it. You have been through a huge ordeal in probably a short time and it takes time to adjust to the ‘new world’
It can get better-I am now doing ok and I wouldnt have thought that a year ago.
Love Cathie
Hi Celia,
Of course you feel like a cry, you are not a wimp, you have just had an operation you probably didn’t want and have treatment in front of you that you also don’t really want. Anaesthetics take a while to get over not to mention the surgery itself. Of course we have all felt like you. I’m nearly a year on from my mx and I still feel like a good cry at times.
Remember we have all felt like you and this is the place to come for a bit of reassurance. You can say whatever you like here we have all been through it and are here to support you like we have had support from others.
Have a damn good cry and don’t worry about it, you’ll feel better soon as you have that drain out.
Love
Jane xx
Thanks Cathie and Jane glad it,s not just me being soft my Hubby keeps saying what,s the matter and I honestly cant say why I am doing this, I have felt quite strong until today, Celia.x
Hi Celia,
I had my op on the 11th and was the same when i came home felt very sad for a few days i would just start crying, like grieving. I didn’t have much pain either just on paracetamol. It took me a few days to get used to the way i looked too but don’t feel too bad now and am getting used to it.
Hope you feel better soon, please try not to judge yourself it’s a big thing to go through. PM me anytime if i can help

Hi Celia
It sounds like you are doing really well.
I had my mx nearly two years ago. A couple of nights after I came out of hospital I had a good old howl! I called my (lovely) surgeon all the names under the sun and said I hated him. My husband looked shocked and wasn’t sure what to do. I felt better when I got that out of my system!
The breast form fitter came to see me before I left hospital and she said when you get home pamper yourself and if you feel like crying let the tears flow. That was really good advice.
Take care

Hi Celia
We have all had days when we just felt like crying all day. Just go with it and never feel guilty. You are at the beginning of an emotional roller coaster.
Best wishes,
Jacqui
Hi Celia
I second what Jacqui has just written.
We all have days when we want to have a good cry and for no apparant reason! Just let it all out. You are in good company.
Sending you hugs and XXXXXXXXXXXX
Thanks for the replys girls,Elaine I am not brave but honestly the MX was not as bad as I had thought you will get throught it and it is good to get out the other side, I get my results on the 10th so something else to think about, all the best to everyone,
