Am I just a sook?
Hi
It is a year since my first and second Breast cancer excisions and lymph node biopsy. The first was on 3 March 2015 and the 2nd a week later on 10 March 2015. Apparently there was a second cance...
I think that you are a brave woman who has held in her feelings for too long, and I am glad that you have vented them. My family and friends are generally wonderful. I had two unsuccessful lumpectomies in February, and am now one week out of hospital after a mastectomy, rebuild, and also reduction of the remaining very large breast to match. I am single, and my married sister is staying with me to help me shower, cook meals, etc. and is wonderful. I had a difficult time in hospital after the operation, (intensive care needed), and stilly tire very easily after the smallest exertion.
Yesterday my single brother said that I sounded and looked very healthy, and he thought that instead of him, I could take our other sister with Alzheimer's to an important appointment in two weeks' time, and thus resume the responsibility of taking her to all of her medical appointments! He just has no idea of the physical and emotional toll that the diagnosis and three operations have had on me, let alone recovery and treatment to come. I haven't even driven again yet.
i agree that you should get your husband to go with you to an appointment with your doctor and start a discussion about your feelings.
