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...
Hi @Lozz
Totally relate to the random crying thing
For about 4 weeks after my diagnosis I cried at completely random times and places ( luckily I was able to take time off work).
Like at the checkout in the supermarket.
And I am not normally a cry baby.
I did have a couple of sessions with a psychologist who specialized in cancer related distress and one of the best things she said to me was “ it’s ok to cry”.
As time has gone by the crying is a lot less but things can trigger it ( I never noticed how many “ cancer breakthrough” stories appeared on tv until I found myself in “ the club”).
Things will get better .🌺
