Weight Loss

Don't know about the guru bit but am happy to offer my support here on this site.When I was feeling down last year I got lots of support  from ladies just ahead of me.It's a great place to share information,experiences and feelings.Breast cancer is a tough journey.It affects you physically,emotionally,sexually and psychologically. At first it doesn't seem real and everything happens so quickly.I would surprise myself how brave I was with big issues and then cry in a heap at simple things like signing the chemo consent forms. Yes, the hair-it's not silly,it's HUGE. I think the grief of losing your hair is underestimated and it takes a long time to grow back.So even though you've long finished treatment you are still walking around with a stupid scarf on your head.You lose a boob and hair and,for awhile,your identity and maybe even your confidence.

Penny,I don't think you've mentioned if you've had a lumpectomy or a mastectomy or if you need radiation.I hope your wound and swelling is settling down now.
