I would like to connect with other carers....

@Bridget1 For many of us it is exactly as you describe.  You're trucking along quite nicely, then WHAM! a cancer diagnosis...then all of a sudden you're sick...from the treatment...  It's one of the hardest things to process about this disease.  And it doesn't go back to what it was before.  Chemo is a tough gig.  My kids (3 x teen/preteen) were magnificent during my treatment but I can look back on it now and realise how much I wasn't there enough for them when they needed me.  But we all know I was doing the best I could.  As were they.  And 12 months on, we're all still trying to work out what happens now.  All I can advise is to be there, understand it's a crap thing, and do what you can, when you can.

I do wonder @Giovanna_BCNA, if it would be worthwhile having a private carers' group (or is that outside of the parameters?).  I don't know how many carers look at this site but I can imagine that there's probably some stuff they'd like to hash out that may be not so nice for us all to see but may be beneficial to their bc people.
