Hi Linda, thanks for your support and understanding. I have never thought of seeing a pyschologist, but maybe thats a good idea. I do belong to a support group, and I hardly ever miss a week. I would be lost without that, and I also belong to an exercise group for women who have had breast cancer. I really enjoy this, and it always ends with a coffee, so it is really social, and I have met some really nice ladies through both these groups. I find these groups wonderful for voicing these fears. Like you, l hate it when I'm told to keep positive or keep my chin up, because no one has ever seen me low or unhappy, other than my husband, so I don't know why people want to remind me of this. I guess they don't know what to say and they think they are helping. At least this cancer journey has taught me what to say and what not to say to someone who is going through a
tough time.
