Well (my silly iPhone wouldn't let me blog...sorted!) I saw a counselor today for the first time (ever)! & boy did it feel good to have a good cry to her & not feel guilty, or embarrassed or stupid! 4 weeks today since surgery & it still could've been yesterday, somedays
(if you get my drift). It felt good to hear 'the professional' (who's had breast cancer) tell me I'm normal & on track for a good recovery! Having all the wonderful women on this site to chat with has certainly been like my own private counseling session anyway, but it was good to sit with someone face to face (who has had her own bc journey too) and have a good ugly cry! Although I did admit I still haven't had 'the shower cry'...& I don't mean cry in the shower, of which I did regularly in the 1st few weeks, I mean THAT cry...of just
letting it completely all out...problem is I'm not a quiet crier & i'm never in the house alone...note to self...must book that in!!
Anyway, the counseling was great & i would definitely recommend it!!
Must sleep now,
Sam xxxx
