emotional mess
Hope everyone is well. Its been 5 days since my first round of FEC an what an emotional journey it has been.
The first day wasnt that bad. Tired and foggy and hungry ( which was a surprise).Thanks ...
Hi Olga, welcome to the mind games part of this. It is a great idea to keep a diary. I have done that since I was diagnosed and it is interestin to go back and see how I got around things. It is a very emotional time especially at the beginning when you are being sent to so many different things and you really have no idea what is happening. If possible you can ask about speaking to a social worker or your breast care nurse. Sometimes the social worker can be organised to come around while you are having chemo.
Over time you will get more control over the emotions but I know it can be hard. People on here are always willing to have a chat and let you know f their experiences with different things, so it is always good to get on here and just ask.
It is worth it to keep fighting. We just have to develop our owns ways of doing it.
Stay strong and take care.
