Hi caca
Hope you feel better for that - in through the mouth out through the nose. You seem to be coping really well but it is good to have an outlet where you can say what you really feel without fear of upsetting anyone LOL!!!
Rant all you like
Love and hugs

You rant away love - stamp your little feet too if it helps. Good to have a go every so often isn’t it.
You seem to have a hell of a lot to to keep you on the go - glad you have a sense of humour to keep you going too. If you don’t want to wear the false bits then so be it - don’t worry about what others think, go with what makes you comfortable.
I really dont think that stress has any effect on breast cancer Caca.Most of my lifes been full of it! Yes, I did end up with BC,but the stress didnt stop there! Some really terrible things have happened to me - even during chemo I was attacked by a madman who broke my ribs! The first two years after dx was one family tragedy after another.I was afraid to pick up the phone incase of more bad news.Didnt have time to think about my poor prognosis,and like you couldn’t give a hoot about reconstruction as long as the tumour had gone.I’ll be 5yrs NED this Christmas and even my doctors have said that if stress had anything to do with recurrence I wouldn’t be here now! This is a great site to let of steam and have a rant!
All the best, Josie
I’m amazed you find time to do the Run for Life on top of all this! Mind you, rushing around the family must keep you fit I suppose.
You rant as much as you want, we have broad shoulders here…lop sided chests perhaps, but who’s perfect!
Like some of those above here, I wondered if stress had played it’s part, and you seem to have more than your fair share, but I tend to think if it were stress related every Mum would have it…
Just keep on truckin,
Silversue
thank you all for listening and yes i do feel better for it
Sorry !
