Hello Everyone

We have been trying the last few weeks to have a weekly post where old and new members can come on and have a chat about how there week has been if that be good or bad.

You can talk about what you have been doing , how you have been getting along.

Thanks.

I have had an awful day today, I do something that I know I shouldn't then I get so emotional to where I can't sleep. I goggle mbc and it makes be just cry and have bad thoughts. So today I just had a really bad day. I hope I can calm myself enough to go to sleep.

I finally went to the pool for arthritis exercises, and realized I would be "flashing" my sternum-through-armpit scar in the locker! Class members assured me others had done it before me. I wore my clothes over my swimsuit on my way to the pool, then when it was time to leave I put on my underwear in the shower stall. The next time I went, I wore my terry robe from the shower and dressed while facing a corner. No one even noticed, or if they did, they were too nice to say anything!

Hello!

This sounds like a good idea.

I had a good day today. I had my first reflexology session and it was really positive and encouraging. I am looking forward to the second one next month. I also called a dietitian and had a nice chat with her. The plan is to see if she can help me improve my diet (I already eat a healthy diet) or suggest any supplements that might help me.

I was off work last week, and was expecting to rest and enjoy the time off. But I felt so rundown and tired, and I had a headache for a couple of days. Then I went shopping with my dad and husband on Saturday and I felt so tired when we got back home.

My good days outweigh the bad, and that's how I intend to live my life!

Take care,

I attended a Breast cancer program yesterday which had a panel of survivors discussing their experiences. It was uplifting to hear them talk about hope. One woman recommended not to keep things to yourself but to reach out to others when you need help. Others who were post treatment talked about how they like to support others going through treatment. I walked away feeling how important it is for women to share their experiences and get support from others. Thanks to all of you on this online community who are here to help!
