nearly at the end

I found the tiredness so overwhelming and still haven't got my old energy levels back. Your husband sounds lik mine and I find hard to talk to him when he puts everything into his perspective. Been great to have this site to come have a chat on .

Thanks so much for that Lorraine. Why is it that knowing someone else feels the same, and has BC and bad days, makes you feel better ? Supported I spose. I don't wish it on anyone, but I am so very grateful for all the ladies here who UNDERSTAND. I find it impossible to explain myself, even to my husband - bless him he puts up with all sorts of moods without a whimper, and would do anything to help, but of course he can't, and I can't even explain why to him. He is a much more pragmatic person than me, I envy that. He is able to sort his life into black and white piles, there's no grey. SO much easier to handle.

Today is better, very tired today - I think that is a common factor of my blue days too, very tired after. Interesting.

much love to you, fight the fight

Hi Magicmum

Well firstly congratulations on reaching 60, I am really enjoying my 60's it seems that finally I can say and do what I want within reason of course. secondly I am pleased that the Tassie bushfires let you unscathed but of course very sad for the town.  I have lived in tassie and know what a fire can do.

Now to the dreadful "what ifs" in my experience these feelings haunt us as time goes by.  I have come to welcome them as it means i am here and i am still able to feel and with experience I know they will pass.  Survinving a diagnosis of Bc is not as easy as it would initially seem.  We ride an emotional rollercoaster of 'what ifs "and the fear of recurrence.  I have taught my self to allow the feeling to come and go, if i feel bad, well that is as it is and it will pass.  If i feel good, that is as it is and it too will passs.

So be as kind to yourself as you would be to a very dear friend in  the same situation.  

Find something wonderful in every day and enjoy every moment.

Lorraine

 

Thanks for the New Year wishes - it's nearly here. I can't believe most of 2012 has vanished without my noticing, so caught up in treatment I just lost the rest of everything.

I am happy, I'm alive. I plan to stay alive for as long as possible.

love

to all
