body pain after chemo

Its true...you are the HUB and the world revolves around you. I think the whole point is that I learned through this whole thing is. Its not selfish to put you first, or say NO. Being a single parent and working and little support its been a tough road and I had to work....but I was so ill through Chemo I lost 3 months and nothing I could do about it. The irony was...the minute I stopped and said Oh Well bad luck...it allowed me to finally put focus on me. Yes I still had massive responsibilities with my children and one in VCE, but I started nurturing me, something I had never done before. Because we always come LAST!!! I do not put work above myself anymore...its only work...things work out and have to enable me to balance financially. I now have limits on what I will and wont do and I dont apologize anymore. Im such a giving person, would do anything for anyone. But its now ME first then you...I cannot express enough how much happier the entire family is, and especially me. Im talking the little things, steal that cup of tea for 20mins in the sun. Listen to your favourite songs, go for that walk. The tiniest things soothe my soul and help me heal and make me a better Mum.
