Not being able to sleep even on so called sleeping tablets, it’s doing my head in.
Good luck for later Mary Brim x

The not being able to sleep really does my head in, but I can say it now only 1 more tax to go! However that doesn’t help when yet again it is 5am and I’m wide awake.
Sitting surrounded by boxes and crates and not a clue where it’s all going to go. Damn you, down-sizing!
I am sleeping sitting up.

Fed up with putting on a brave face !
Fed up with the fact that my tissue expander has failed, and my surgeon did not realise that he haD stretched my poor skin so much that my implant is about to burst through!
Fed up with the knowledge that in a few months, i have no option, but to start again with recon, which will involve major surgery, just as i am ready to get my life back on track!
B****Y STUPID INCOMPETENT SURGEON , YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE…YOU DID NOT NOTICE A SIMPLE PROBLEM, YOU REFERRED ME TO THE WRONG PERSON AT ANOTHER HOSPITAL MILES AWAY, AND BECAUSE OF YOU, I HAVE A BOTCH JOB FOR A CHEST!
Grrrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
Fed up with worrying.
Oh goodness Naz - that’s so b-----y annoying to say the least. When I read this I really felt for you. I feel so angry for you. Are you going to have the same surgeon or ask for another one??
Keep strong (suppose you’re fed up with hearing that but it really is heartfelt and from someone who knows!) and you will get through this. Do what I started to do after my second op and actually ask for help and be specific about what you need from family and friends even if it’s just to pop round for a supportive chat or be taken to a local garden centre to take your mind off things after your op.
All the very best
Lots of love

Fed up with feeling constantly below par even though I know I am “on the mend”. Also fed up with people saying “you’ve just got to keep positive and strong” - exactly like I’ve just said to Naz!! Woops!

Lynn, i have asked for another surgeon, now…one who knows what he is doing!
Unfortunately, the hospital is much further from my local haopital, but i feel confident from seeing my new potential ps three times now, that he can at least make things better for me.
Sorry to hijack this thread, i guess this is the thing i am most fed up with at the moment…

Hi Swift16
I can relate so much to what you say. On the one hand, I feel so fortunate to have reached what I call ‘the other side’ of surgery, chemo, rads and now continue on Herceptin and Letrozole. But on the other, I find it hard at times to recognise the ‘me’ the ‘new norm’ in this. I too feel very tired, whilst trying to cope with being back at work full time and trying to get back to some sort of activity to build my strentgth. I think that people presume because you are ‘looking well’ that you are ‘back to normal’. My old self and normal life has gone and I am trying to embrace my ‘new me and this different norm’. Not always easy…
