Hello Sam,
thank you for your reply. I am home alone tonight (hubby out, son out working and daughter does notlive at home) and feeling pretty blue. so your message has brighten me up a little. I have only lately started to feel teary and sorry for myself...something I promsied I would not do but at the moment I can't be stuffed and am letting it hang out...and the one thing that really makes me sorry for myself is my weight gain. I think it is because not many people talk about it. I feel ugly and somewhat disappointed in myself...but your last line of "give yourself time, your deserve it " actually made sense. I need to remind myself that my body is trying to cope with Chemo let alone anything else. I get scared though Sam because all I read and hear is "don't get too fat cos that will put you at risk of the cancer coming back". I mean - give me a break.....don;t we have enough to deal with? Sorry....I don't mean to sound so angry. I am about to have my last chemo treatment and start radiation and all of a sudden I am angry again. Why - I have no idea....well...I think it all comes back to the weight gain. Did yu gain much weight? How did you lose it? when did you start to lose it? Sue :i
