That is not good as you say it takes a lot of courage to ask for help. My local doctors have put me on their cancer counselling list and I have had one call from them and another one due for tomorrow - She is not the actual counsellor but it is in case I need any help or want counselling in the future - not sure if all surgeries do this or I am lucky bit maybe worth a try at yours? x

Is it PINK for breast cancer?!!!
It wasn’t pink for breast cancer when I bought it but the thought did cross my mind before it made its hasty exit!
I’m having counselling and I feel sorry for the poor woman. She does get some crazy off me some weeks. She’s a very calm person thankfully. I think cancer counselling is really important as I think you need to process this life-changing scariness. Chase it, I say.
@naughty_boob I’m unsure what to do with my right armpit. It currently has an angry-looking, ugly scar from the sentinel node biopsy followed by axillary node clearance by Dr Doom Angel. The hair is growing at an alarming pace but I cannot get my arm high enough to shave it and of course I am not supposed to use a razor blade anymore due to having no lymph nodes. The cording would make that impossible anyway. May see how long I can grow it and get it made into a wig at a later date.

My GP have well-being help but are not qualified counselling. I’ve now asked Penny Brohn charity for 1:1 counselling.
This work one said I’d rebooked for next Monday and now I’ve just received a text to say they will offer two more dates. This is just to see what I want🤨 May just tell to to do one!
Remember to share your wig from armpit hair. I think we’d all like to see that 
Aside from that, I think it’s another chat with a medical professional advise.

Thanks @Nikks
Having a dog is a brilliant distraction from all the stuff we have to go through. Mine definitely senses when I’m having a good or bad day. I’m so up and down these days, every time I out the TV on there is an advert for a cancer charity or someone talking about it. I watched a couple of shows not knowing anybody had cancer in them and found it uncomfortable. I wish there was a warning like smoking etc.
Take care

Hi Naughtyboob
yes I totally agree it’s everywhere you turn , my friend and I recently did a radio interview about cancer and mental health , it’s a difficult journey
from diagnosis to treatment but there’s a massive void after where we are told to go an live your life but it’s not as simple as that , we know how hard it is finding ourselves after all the drastic life changes , we have to find the strength to continue, keep strong hun an enjoy your doggy it’s always my escape xxx
