I too learnt this SMART Goal at Epworth Freemasons Rehab Course I attended over 6 weeks, it was fantastic! @Cate uuugh damn feet!!! You know 3 weeks off Arimidex and my feet arent SORE!!!! 3 more weeks then have to take it again and have a meeting with the Onc, but to be honest, I dont want to switch to another with more side effects OMG never ends does it!!!???
@positive3negative you mentioned I also worked at caring for my husband and daughter as best I could and avoiding ‘it’s all about me’ syndrome. I actually have to say for me?? this journey taught me that it was about ME...it didnt affect my care for my children, but I gave myself permission finally to put me first, best lesson out of this whole journey and so so important. As Mums we are nurturers to everyone else...but forget ourselves. Ive always been quite determined in general but realised through this whole thing it wasnt about pushing myself to do anything at all but listen to myself my body and heal. Everyone is so different. Having had a recurrence and I never thought I would knocked me for a six at the 4 year mark up until then I never stopped making goals and moving forward, this however stopped me. As I move forward now, again, all clear, healthy and moving on all be it shuffling still after surgery LOL, keep those goals happening and just live I say and be happy. Hugs Melinda xo
