Emotions - the adventure begins

Hi Christine - from one Christine to another - I agree wholeheartedly with your comments. 

To be told by your dearest friend that you need to give up everything; obviously that is what she would do and for her to knock you when you tell her that the Assistant Surgeon visited and said Christine you look so well, you don't look like the patient; I've just had a mastectomy!

Goodness I've lost a boob and been complimented and you want to knock it!  Go away!

It's true, there are acquaintances and neighbours that really surprise you with their caring nature and listening ability without being judgmental and their offering of food and then there are those that you've helped through many a crisis and you expect the return favour just cut you down with their lack of ability to understand.

Each experience in life strengthens us and this journey is that as well as. 

I was recently told to look up the poem, Reason, Season, Lifetime!

It is wonderful to be part of this network and read and comment occasionally as you find strength in others experiences and everything is put into perspective.

As to being boob-less, there was no choice but I now have a replacement which I wasn't fussed about but I am now happy and yes I still have niggles and aches but that is par for the course of treatment.  

I am here to tell the tale that is the most important gift of all!

Take care xx
