hahaha @VicEli I was trying to find Archie on the blog! LOL
Personally, I found that this whole experience has mucked with my BRAIN more than anything else! And that is very hard to control, as it has a mind of its own! I found that keeping BUSY, doing things is the secret . .... get back into your hobbies or take up a new one - even more so now with Covid as we can’t get together with buddies as readily as before. Fishing works for me! ;)
If there is anything you want to discuss in a more private manner, you can message a member (or a group of members) and chat in total privacy - or join the private groups off on the right hand side ....
When you have 5 mins spare, jump onto some of these posts for a diversion .... Try & keep your sense of humour 'up there' - we have a really good 'funnies page' (called Friday Funnies, but we add them every day!!) Just click on the link to add pics and posts ... we even have a 'furkids' post!! (and a fishing post! ;) )

Then, when you have some MORE time ... check out the blog by a female British Breast Surgeon who went on to develop Breast Cancer, with recurrence. She was amazed at just how much it changed her life, both mentally and physically ... and validates all our own ‘aches and pains’ ... SO ... if your Onc/GP etc doesn’t believe you when you discuss side effects - get THEM to read this blog too!
