just want to say thanks to you all for your replies they really did help at least i know i can come here and get the support i need for im sure not getting it from my family so thanks again xxxxxxxxgod bless you all dot
awww dot - I’m sorry you don’t feel you are getting the support from your family. I had a bit of that too following my mastectomy. I think they were just blocking it out. They all took the view that ‘oh well the surgeon said they’d got it all, so off you go with the chemo and stuff then you’ll be better’ - it was like ok the cancer’s gone now get on with your life (and don’t get me wrong - I’m trying to that positive myself!).
It has taken me a while, and a lot of hard conversations, particularly with my eldest daughter, to make them realise that it isn’t that simple - but there are days when I still don’t think they really understand - that’s why I like to come on here and talk to people that I know DO understand what I’m going through.
Keep in touch
Margaret x
