Have changed my profile pic so you can see what I look like - not sure what I will be wearing on my head as my hair is quite thin. Might be my wig or a scarf, have to see how I feel …
See you

Dear Swift 16, I am also quite new to these discussions but I know that you would have got more replies on a different thread. I am in the same boat as you as in lumpectomy then chemo and on day 6 when steroids have worn off you do feel a bit grot and quite odd! I would be able to meet up some time if you are interested, it is good to discuss things that family and close friends would maybe not want to.
Best regards, Frances
Hi Swift 16
I agree - you might find others who can answer your questions and are in the same position as you on other threads.
I had a mx in December, followed by chemo and am maybe now going to have rads. My friends and family have also been very supportive and though I do feel able to talk to them about my feelings, I don’t want to worry them too much or ‘go on’ about it.
Having things to distract you and take your mind off things can hopefully help sometimes. I know that my children are good for that! I don’t know what your work is, but maybe you will feel better once you get back into it? Remember how much you have been through physically as well as with all the emotions.
Take care

Hi woollycardy
Thanks for your help - am starting to feel a little more “normal” now! Have just seen lady from occy health and she said the same that maybe returning to work may help. Will also try other threads re support.
