What helps you when you are down or stressed

Hey Poll

Hello huny and I am so glad you have found us.  I apologise I not been on here earlier but my computer was misbehaving badly as it does for last couple of days.

I can so relate to where you are at.  It is such a frustrating time.  Where do you live huny?  You will be able to find groups in your area by looking on the right side of the main BCNA page and typing in your area. If no success with that contact BCNA direct and they will either put you in contact with someone or have someone call you.  There is always someone out there wantiing to help and support you as I want to do right now.

You are right in saying family and husbands "just don't get it"!!!!  It is such a common phrase you will hear from any of your pink sisters going through BC.

I am glad you have found this post to hopefully cheer you up but also give you some ideas of what you can do when you are feeling low.  I know how hard it is to lift yourself up when you are feeling so down but hopefully some of these things will help.

I hope you have a good GP you can turn to if you have any concerns.  Plus a breast care nurse allocated to you following your surgery.  Use them, call on them whenever you need and most importantly look after number one because at this time unfortunately it is all about you.

I am not sure if you have or know how to but make sure you put up any new post if there are things that are bothering you on here and the girls will come to your rescue with replys.  To post a new post.  Go into your own profile, click on blog which is up the top and then it will come up and you can create a post which will then show up on the main online page and you will receive alerts of replies from the girls.

Also if you have a question there is a search tab on the top Right hand side of the main page as well.

I hope you have received your"My Journey Kit" already through BCNA but if not you can order it down the bottom of this page under resources and you should receive it within the week if Australia Post on schedule.

I hope I have helped you a little.  Just remember I am hear for you, I know exactly where you are coming from, I know how it feels to be on that roller coaster ride and so do all of us on this site.

It is scary but just remember so many of us have been through what you are going through and have come out the other side to be able to sit here and type a reply to you.

Luv always, Mich xoxoxoxo
