It certainly is good to know. No matter how well meaning our family and friends are they dont know what is going on inside us. I used to love my long soaks in my bubble filled bath. I hate them now. I had a double mastectomy xx
I hate my body too , but I love my life more now I appreciate everything I have I only lost one boob but when I look at it I feel like a freak . I try not too look too often lol x
I don't hate my body ... I see no breasts but a scar ... My battle scars !!
But I can understand that other women may see it differently . I hope it time you can all accept that this is just your body and not who YOU are .. Xxx 💞
Remember, although I'm sure it's extremely hard, that with 2, 1 or no breasts you are still Sandy who likes......... (finish off by adding the things you like in your life)
Summed up how i feel☺after mascetomy and treatment have felt that some people assume i should be back to how i was pre cancer. Im finding new set of obstacles to get over.im due to go back to work on 11th july..i put bra and prostsis on for first time since december and found it heavy and tiring. I also had a stroke after first round of chemo on easter sunday. So have had problems with hands .my hair also fell out at same time.feel really crappy about myself at moment and confidence is at an al time low.this isthe first time ive posted on here but have read other peoples posts which have helped with questions ive had.i would like to thank all you brave ladies and wish everyone good health and luck for the future xx lots of love paula xx
Thank you for sharing this poem X it is so true and as like you I am a survivor X I read this and i got a little emotional X thank you again your amazing 💕
OMG that is absolutely spot on. Lovely words & sums it up exactly. I keep getting told I was 'lucky' because I didn't need chemo or radiotherapy,but I don't feel lucky to have lost one of my breasts. I don't feel lucky to have had to go through egg harvesting at the age of 37, and injecting hormones which gave me cancer in the first place. I've had reconstruction & still awaiting nipple reconstruction but I can't bear to look at it. Your poem sums it up exactly xx
I thought it would bother me having a mastectomy, but it hasn't. I was more bothered about losing my hair with the chemo and wouldn't leave the house without my wig or a hat on.
I'm six weeks post mastectomy and still feel strange when I look in the mirror. What is now my good side is scared by a previous WLE. I suppose I'll get used to it in time xxx
hi there, almost 4 years post diagnosis now and barring several hiccups of worry, I'm doing not too bad. I have atrial fibrillation which has flared up in the last few months and I can't help but wonder if the radiotherapy has done some 'damage' as my bc was my left breast.
I'm due my next yearly mammogram in sept/October so fingers crossed yet again.
The poem id very apt though. I don't speak of any health worry I might have or tests i'm having because people really do think it's done and dusted so what am I worrying about! If only they understood eh?
