Hi Robyn,
Thank you for your lovely response to my post. Like you and your family we talk about each others feelings about BC a lot. My husband like most husbands feels he has to fix everything and with this he knows he can't but he feels his role is to keep me happy and help me not to take my mind to dark places or race ahead. Like it is said all the time here, "one day at a time" . He is so good at this and his strength rubs off on my son who I know is looking at his father gaging his response to know how he himself should handle this. It has brought us closer in that we are more affectionate, patient and more tolerant of each other. Vigilant in helping ease the load on each other.
I haven't had an appointment with oncologist yet and waiting on letter from hospital to advise when. It will be being posted to me today after their multidisciplinary meeting. They were waiting on one more result which is there now, to finalise treatment plan. Your oncologists advice to shave your head before chemo sounds like a good idea to me and I will get ready to do that too.
Thank you too for your encouragement, very timely as this morning I have been feeling very down. It doesn't help still being sore from surgery 3 weeks ago.
I hope you are feeling well and happy too Robyn.
Love
Joy xx
