CHOICES
Hi everyone Twiggyjumps is new and had put this where we dont necessarily see it. So here it is for people to respond to her... Twiggyjumps Well I've just joined the bcna network, just got diagno...
Twiggyjumps ... Your Dog yes ... hell my dog (little bichon) slept when I slept and if I was ghastly etc she would trail behind me 3 paces behind.... Prior to my treatment she was my daughters baby... slept in my daughters room etc etc.
But when I got home from surgery she never left my side.... now 4 years later my daughter has to close her door if she wants Lucy to stay in her room.
We lived in a big farm house with double brick while I was sick
my bedroom was at one end.... living the other I had no voice on chemo, she would run and get the kids to come and help me. She got them when I collapsed in shower the first time.... Chair in shower after that. Dogs/cats are very good at helping us to relax.
we all cope differently with our chemo drugs.... I was a mess I had allergic reactions after allergic reactions but I do that with regular drugs also....
I want to give you hope 4.5years later I am NED (no evidence of Disease) getting on with life. For me I chose no recon as I have allergies to most things in life. I dont miss the 8kg they took away on 25/10/12. in fact now my back and neck problems are gone that I had prior to surgery.
Try to speak with a Breast Care Nurse she will break it down for you and also can refer you to a Social worker/ or Psychologist to be able to discuss with no holds barred the choices you are facing...
Hugs and energy for today
