Up, then down
Hi ladies, I don't know what happened. 3 days ago I posted that my hair was cut and I went out with my scarf, all was good. I was 'owning it'. Now it's 3.30am and I haven't been able to get to sleep....

Hello Hazel....Honey if you weren't emotional,crying and depressed you would be one in a million! Lives have been thrown in the tumble dryer once the cancer word is uttered. I was diagnosed with cancer in both breasts and had a Bilateral Mastectomy in April 2011. Think I cried, wailed and sobbed at every opportunity. At one Cancer Seminar I even managed to raise my hand through a fit of this uncontrolled sobbing and ask "when will I stop crying"?
Anyhow these feeling lessen over time but are an important part of the process. When I was on the DEX I was a nasty monster full of frustration and continually agitated. Did I mention that was FAT, RED FACED and BALD?
When I had my wig on I looked like my son's basketball with a guinea pig asleep on top of it. Gave up on the wig most of the time and wore a hat or cap and sometimes even just BALD.
Simply putting on a bit of lippy made me feel better. One day after LGFB I did what I thought was a reasonable effort at having some eyebrows. The expression on the faces of my husband and son told me something different! One did look slightly catterpillar like and was much thick than it's companion.
Life does get back to somewhere near normal there will be more tears but plenty of laughter and smiles
Blessings....Kim.
