I would love to have a glass of wine! Go For it-have 1 for me. Unfortunately-right around age 50, it really affected me the next day, even one glass.
Enjoy yourself.

Yes I’m the same - if I’ve had even one glass either red or white I can really feel it the next day xx

There are times when I feel like a hangover kicks in as soon as I drink it: it can be horribly depressing when there are times when you feel like a glass of wine would just “hit the spot” then you have one and feel worse for it :tired_face:

My first reaction to this, as one (self-pity alert) whose birth mother, half-brother and sister did not even wish me well by text when hearing of my diagnosis of bc aggressive grade 3 (spread to lymph nodes) is cherish those sisters! And don’t alienate your friends they probably feel guilty underneath all the time their lives are continuing. If the position was reversed how would you be giving support to them? We know it’s a different world in this club no one wants to be a member of.
Sorry to be a bit preachy but come on lady, you will get better and then you will need those friends.

Yeah I would be supporting the hell out of them-to a fault- I love blocking out my problems and focusing on others. Not a healthy strategy either
Believe me-it’s been pointed out professionally.
I’m a reasonably smart girl-my friends are better than most, I have not kicked any of them to the curb. Just again saying what I felt-I had never felt that nasty jealousy feelings towards them. It took me off guard

I so felt this!! I blocked people out too and had anger towards women who had implants for non-medical reasons.

@loulou1 Hi :wave: there its natural to feel some emotions especially anger. Have you spoken to anyone ie counsellor about how your feeling it certainly helped me with that sense of loss after a masectomy. It’s a journey to reach that place of acceptance. Lots of hugs :people_hugging: coming your way
