My treatment finished end of 2013. I have tried to talk to my colleagues but there is no sympathy or empathy there very young and no matter how many times I say things they don't get it. I feel like a broken record. The higher bosses are so busy , half of the time you feel like you're being a burden and a problem. I am thinking of returning next week even though I'm still not quite hundred percent. Going insane staying at home. We see how it goes if still bad I have decided to leave. See what HR arranges as before sick they said occupational health and something in place to get line manager to clear air type of thing. We will see. They have all these policies and procedures but never follow them. Being off for 6 weeks this week supposed to have home visit after 4 weeks. Yeah right. They are so not PC at all.

Help I wish I can go to the shop and buy a new motherboard and delete some files from my memory ,that's if I can find it that is. Life is a bitch at the mo I am on sick at the min 5 weeks. Totally having a melt down. As normal working with kids/ colleagues and people who are not educated or have any people skills ,have just put the nail in my coffin for me to be off. I struggle every day to go in and face the very negative environment. But a few seem to like the fact they have power over u or love the dramas and cause it. Me I like to me be in background and watch but I hate it there. But scared to death of getting new job as my brain and memory is so bad. The nice people I work with the other day moved my fan while I was in another room photocopying and was talking bout me when I walked in. U feel venerable but recently it feels they are singling me out and because I use my disability when there is things I can't do they are not very understanding and kind of try to dig heels in for me to do it. Which has back fired this time. Will this ever change 😑

Grin and bare it REALLY she hasn't had CANCER then WOW All I can say if u have a good day relish it as soon there's another bad one. It's a nitemare. Off work at the min can't even go in had a meltdown in work. Manager wanting me to do a new job for a few days. Me with my memory and cognitive dysfunction and side effects from chemo and medication. Good look for them as it entailed being with public. Sweats and can't speak without getting words wrong. Oh yes trying to remember new paperwork etc. the young ones say yes u will be fine. WAKE UP. Get ur brain in gear before u say such stupid incentive things.

I can understand. It's so hard to get up and to try and move on. The lack of educated people knowing what to do or even understand. I suffer from anxiety and that off work with stress. I don't ever want to go back as they are so young and judgemental that it terrifies me to go there as they're attitudes are awful. Couldn't spell the other work. Bloody cognitive dysfunction. I hate being so stupid and the chemo and medication effects left with. I wonder if I am ever going to feel wonderful and outgoing again. I fear so much and u hear so much u can't have this or this. It drives u to distraction. I am fortunate to have my partner but I worry that soon he's going to say enough is enough. I HATE CANCER 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 . Look for the positive 😕 yeah right I live in rainy Wales looking at the window at lovely view is gloomy 😊

Hi I am week 4 after surgery. I seem to be lucky I seem to be getting over it quite quickly. I drove week Sunday of week 2 nearly 3 weeks. Movement quite good kept doing exercises it is important. It was good to complete tasks in week one and the progress from week to week that kept me going. After surgery I would defo suggest back fastened sports bra. Big baggy nightdress u can step in to. Baby wipes to clean arm pit and roll on. I used toilet roll to soak up any water just incase it dripped on. Buy one of the v memory foam pillows and build up for nite sleeping and another pillow at side so u can lean the bottom of ur arm easier withlymph node scar. Take pain killers before exercise and keep taking. Week one check I had some liquid taken out which made it easier no pain. Nipple seem to be more sensitive and shooting pain becomes less. My scar has a little hardness but I was told I can massage and put bio oil on after 6 weeks.
Next step chemo 😞

My situation was a big shock. Went for test in Feb/March and everything was clear u couldn't believe how happy I was. Then I returned to hospital for what I thought was a follow up and a close down. The dr didn't like feel and gave me a biopsy there and then. Ouch was the word and a swear word. After a wk of waiting ,he then said it was suspicious. MY jaw dropped. That was back in July. I then been to hospital what feels like none stop. I had 2 local biopsies which didn't hurt or bruise half as much. Dr said lymph nodes clear but boob something there. Returned back on the Monday to be told by surgeon. Lumpectomy 13/8/12. Recovered well movement good returned to work at home aones few hours in office. Which kept me sane waiting to heal and next treatment plan
Month on next hurdle
All I can say is that after I was given all clear they didnt remove lump and said if it changes or boths u return. I didn't real check as machines said no so keep an eye. I found it in Dec last year and it was removed August this year. This breast cancer is so sly and can be hidden know ur bumps

I was her2 and est + grade 2 and under 3cm. I am 42 and was praying for 15 rads only. Shell shocked when she was talking about chemo after they had said rads. But they said this in the beginning to give you little bits of info. But then when u get results the drop in it can be chemo. I was guttered i wanted my life back. Thought surgery was bad enough not even thinking about that and the scar and the slight pains. Swapped buying comfortable supportive bras to wigs and scarves and hats. Bank balance having a beating. Chemo start date hoping week after next. Bring the doom on let's get ticking and deleting.

I may be a oct but I am hoping it's Sept. I went to the onc last Monday. Totally shell shocked so back there this Monday to sign on dotted line and go thro stuff. It's so scary and trying to be prepared and stay positive. Lumpectomy seems easy compared to this. No worrying about that and the beauty of scar area.
