There is an interesting discussion at the moment on our facebook page about how younger women are left without any proper emotional support and Breast Cancer Care thought this might be a good discussion to expand on our forums.
I am finding that I feel worse as time is going on. I never worried at all throughout my treatment, never had to ask the breast cancer team for anything. But now I can feel myself sinking lower and lower. I worry about how much my life expectancy has dropped, even though it was just a small tumour and only grade 2. I wasn’t bothered about the scars at first, but now I just see a hole with a scar across it, looking more and more horrible each day, even though the scar is fading.
Maybe it’s a side effect of the Tamoxifen, I don’t know.
