Hi there I am new to this site and not really sure what I am doing but anyway here goes. I was diagnosed in March with grade 2 invasive ductal cancer I have since had a mastectomy and have just had my 3rd fec chemotherapy. I am 36 and have two small children 7 and 4. I was really positive after mastectomy and got things back on track driving and swimming after 2 weeks. But feel that since starting chemotherapy and my hair falling out have sunk into deep depression and dont feel myself at all. Cant sleep dont want to go out, I cant see anything positive in anything ! I know there are people out there in much worse situation than me and feel guilty for feeling so low. Wondered if anybody in Bristol South Gloucs wanted to buddy up if thats what you call it ? Alot of posts seem so upbeat how do they do it and positive and just want the old me back who would have thought like that.
