My chemo following up my ophas been delayed to give me another week of healing. Had bath today instead od shower and felt good then later for no apparent reason had a good cry

When you have this cancer you don’t need a reason to cry. It’s a release and good for you. Did you feel better afterwards? Hope so.

Oh I'm so sorry that you have been feeling tearful. The surgery is major and your body has been through such a lot. You've got a lot of healing to do both mentally and physically. I'm glad that your Chemo has been delayed by a week to give you a little longer recovery time. I appreciated having a delay too after my surgery.

The bath sounds like it was a success. Keep enjoying them. Things will get easier. Sending you lots of love xxxx

Thanks just had a wobble thinking about the 3 bouts of chemo still to come and wondering if my bodies up for it. In a more positive frame now thanks for understanding

[Welshandproud in reply to Madmolly]

We all get the wobbles from time to time. That's why this group is so good. You will get through the next 3 and we are all here for you. Sending you a big virtual hug xxxxx

Thanks for hugs probably all I needed

Hello there, probably that’s normal? I am two and a half weeks post op and also seem to be crying if anyone close says kind things.? Keep being kind to yourself. Sending you positive hugs

Hi lily may I think it's just par for the course it just seemed to come from know where and was not expecting it.

I think crying after our surgery is both normal and also a little bit healthy. We’ve had a major trauma both physically and psychologically and it’s not uncommon for ladies to mourn the loss of their lady parts either and we’ve had the added delight of our diagnosis so when you add it all up it’s hardly surprising we get the blues from time to time.

It’s so important to be as physically strong as possible before you have the next 3 chemos so the delay is good. I hope it goes well for you and keep in touch lovely ❤️Xx Jane

Jane, what a lovely way to put it. I am trying to remain physically strong I am on trials which involves taxol and I find it heavy going on joints especially my knees so gearing myself up ready thank you for your inspirational words

Hi Molly, it sounds like you are doing well! the crying is par for the course, I can start crying in the middle of answering whether I prefer tea or coffee! You have been through a lot and got back online fairly quickly which shows how strong you are. You will manage the next lot of chemo and remember they will not give you it if they think you are not strong enough yet. So try to relax and rest and cry when you feel like it and join the rest of us who will understand and send you lots of hugs and support.

Love Pat xx

Pat you brought a smile to my face because as you understand it just came from nowhere. Hoping when I see onc tomorrow that I can start my chemo I am on the ICON 8b trial amd my k nee joints do suffer terribly on it but onwards and upwards just want to get it completed. Margaret x
