Hi Madeleine
I was sad to read your bog but am glad that you have reached out - hopefully some ladies who have been where you are will make contact.
I understand your comment re the breast care nurses - they often have no idea how to emotionally support people. They seem to be mostly admin minded rather than care minded. Contact the McGrath Foundation direct (you can self-refer) and ask if there is another nurse in your area who may relate to your circumstances.

Please do keep in touch - and the very est of wishes - keep fighting
Hugs
Summer :-)
