Hey Kel,
Anxiety is a hard one, I've always been prone and the whole cancer thing didn't help. It can literally take my breath away.
After my chemotherapy & radiation I did the first mastectomy and a year of herceptin. I worked full time and at the end of all that I kind of fell over a bit. Looking back at what had happened it was just all a bit much.
I went last march and did a health retreat in Byron bay to get my breath back. They did all the usual stuff, yoga meditation etc. I could never be that full on and I still can't still my mind but it really helped me out and I still enjoy the yoga.
Sounds like youve had a pretty full on run for the last
couple of years too. I hope you find some time to do something that you really enjoy for yourself.
Looks like if you do recon that you will be taking the kids for a trip to Adelaide! I know bcna are really well funded, Will they help you out with travel and
accommodation and stuff so your family can come and be with you? I was lucky to be in the city so I don't really know what they do to support.
Having the nightly calls must have been really distressing when you were doing radio, I found it hard that every picture the kids ever drew for me said get well soon or we miss you in hospital or hope youre feeling better etc. Even though I'm not sick any more they still do that it's such a habit for them. Im sure they'll stop doing it soon and in a couple of years it will all be fuzzy for them and they will hardly remember when I was sick. I really hope so :-) x
