Unfortunately the site of the lump removal developed a nasty infection last week and I'm off work all week getting daily injections and suffering the effects of very strong antibiotic tablets. I feel so guilty for my workmates.. having to carry the load.. I feel so guilty my kids think mum being unwell is the norm... I feel guilty when I read so many ladies stories and they are going thru so much more than I am. I feel shame that all my cancer has been removed, yet I still sit here and cry
Thank you for sharing your feelings because you have helped me get a lot of perspective.. We can only feel how we feel.. Its not right or wrong, it just is... hopefully by verbalising those feelings it helps us feel deal with our emotions a little bit better...
Dont shut up and suck it up... just be yourself and do what you need to do.... Remember your not alone with how you feel.
good luck
Pam
