Hi Fiona
Thank you so much. It is hard when all the stories regarding BC in the media are always uplifting, which is great in a way but not really the true story. I even heard that BC is the glamorous cancer!!! I am still trying to take it day by day which is totally against my personality and background. My GP has been fantastic, incredibly supportive and she has pulled me through some awlful times. The bugger at the moment is that the meds available for nerve pain are contra to my antidepressant medication. I went back to work last week which took quite an emotional toll, I fell into a heap on Sat, fortunately a friend came around and calmed me down - totally unexpected but so lovely. I am also fortunate that I have a wonderful physio, she has advised me to get a second opinion re PS and has given me another PS who has looked after another case similar to mine.
I will take your advice and chase up other breast care nurses other than my own. I want to give my BC nurse some slack as she is only part time and works between two hospitals (one private and one public) but I'm still a little bit angry to forgive at the moment.
Thanks again for your support.
cheers Liz
