Hi all I was diagnosed with Early BC on 1 Aug and had my surgery last Friday 11 Aug. Am home now feeling sore, tired and still overwhelmed. Most of all I feel guilty that I can't look after my family...

Good morning @Dessi,
There’s amazing support here. I am so glad and thankful this online support is available. Like to share other support medium I have utilised and found them extremely beneficial for my emotional and mental wellbeing:
1. BCNA call line: 1800500258( amazing ladies manage those lines)
2. My fabulous breast care nurse: I have her number saved as favourite :smile:
3. My GP (I am lucky to have found a GP who ‘click’ with me)
4. My hubby ( last resort : even though he has been extremely supportive, I feel he doesn’t ‘get’ what I am going through.)

Please be kind to yourself. We are going through BC. Though I haven’t started my treatment ( surgery this Friday), my hubby has started doing all housework and cooking. I don’t feel guilty at all as I know I need to take the best care for myself so we can enjoy more good years ahead.
Friends have already started offering help and I have ‘assigned tasks’ to them as well.
Remember when you get on a flight, what the announcement says: always put the mask on yourself first before putting for others.
This will be a roller coaster ride but amazing support is available for us and we are not alone in this journey.
