I dont know if im just overtired but i fealty feel down in the dumps today?? I had a biopsy on Monday and my breast is still sore, a little swollen and very bruised! I did some ironing and now I’ve come across really shattered… tired as though I could literally fall asleep! Today is the first day that it’s ever taken it out of me…
Hi, I had that kind of day yesterday and is it anyway wonder with what our mind and bodies are going through. I had a mammogram on Wednesday and was still sore from my biopsy when I had it so it’s now sore again. Have a little nap if you need to you may well wake up in a different head space. One step at a time.
Hugs ?
Poor you! It’s no wonder you feel a bit low, and quite natural. How about using some arnica on that boob, it will help with the bruising. You could also try giving yourself a reward for being so brave. I’d like to know who could have a dirty great needle stuck in them and still keep smiling. Sending a hug. X
Hi Queenbee, I think your feelings are perfectly normal, I had lots of down days when the enormity of what I was dealing with became so overwhelming. I am usually very positive and try to find something good in every situation but dealing with breast cancer was very hard. I had lots of tears too - I bumped into one friend whilst out shopping who asked how I was doing and I just burst into tears, and that happened a lot! The positive I found in my situation was that my cancer was found early and before it had a chance to start spreading and I will always be grateful for that. I am now out the other side having had radiotherapy last summer and feel great, life is pretty much back to normal. Yours will be too in a while. Don’t be afraid to have bad days, we are all human afterall and have to let our emotions out somehow so that we can move forward. You will get through this and no doubt amaze yourself and thise around you with just how strong you are. Look after yourself. Michelle xx
Sending love queenbee… I know what you mean my armpit is killing me today even tho the lump is in my breast I’m convinced its already spread. I don’t have op till 3rd may all being well I just think is very long time to wait xxx
