Hi there @soccermum1, I also had my chemo and surgery at Royal North Shore Hospital, finished the poisoning and slicing and dicing in 2018. Unless you have been diagnosed and treated for cancer, a person has no idea...at all. They don't get that it's not the same as having gall stones...simple...remove diseased gall bladder, take some pills and ta raaa...alllll better now. Nah, no matter how successful all the treatment, no matter being declared NED (No Evidence of Disease), no matter how quickly (or not) you may recover physically, at the back of your mind will always be the ghostly whispers of "I'll be back". One drop of blood on the loo paper...oh lord, it's back...no piles actually. A simple headache...oh god no, it's gone to my brain...no, you need a new pillow. This is the legacy we have, to a larger or lesser degree. We get it, we understand the gut churning panic and here in this group is a safe place to share. If however, you feel the stress is too much to handle, speak to your breast care nurse, your GP or others on your medical team. Ask for help and keep asking till you receive it. Sending you a big cyber (((hug)))...Ally.
