im sure they arent fed up with you but its hard not to feel like a burden when there is so much that you cannot do… however if it was you BF or kids who were having surgery and investigations you wouldnt think that of them, you would just be happy to care for them and help them but you would also enjoy a bit of time to yourself.
if your feeling a bit down about everything why not speak to your gp or a counsellor… these can often be arranged through your oncology unit or breast care nurse.
and you know you can always come and off load on here.
some people need medication to help them cope with their diagnosis and treatment too so thats also an option your GP may feel would benefit you if things are getting on top of you.
take care

thnks lulu, im ok today just had one of them c… days!! god no i dont want drugs rather hav wine or gin haha. been to hospital n have been syringed so feeling much better sorry 4 tht rubbish .xxxxx
rozita, wine sound like a good one its ups and downs and so difficult when you have most prob in the past been the one ‘doing’ But remember you must rest, it hard to have people doing things when you are not used to it. I used to make my mob bu**er off it gave me a chance to have some space and they had a break without feeling guilty.
This place is great to sound off on the poo days, and great for smiles on the good days
