FINALLY! - the tears have flowed

Morning Troopers!

As you all know it gets tiresome sending a million text messages and saying the same thing over and over, and although I didn't want to initially, I have decided to create a Facebook page for my family and friends to keep up to date with my experience.

My friends are glad i have done this too!  Feel free to follow if you like!

Today's blog from my page...

 

Had a great sleep! ....OK, it was pain killer induced ;p

A friend asked me earlier in the month, so have you cried yet? I said actually no, I've been too busy with appointments etc! Mind you I am on the edge nearly every day, but usually pull myself back together with a deep breath and a 'stay strong Tracy'.

Well last night I had a good cry, I looked in the mirror at my scars, at my dark circled eyes and my yucky, grey speckled, un-dyed hair and down the tears fell.....Holy crap! I thought, this is just the beginning and I'm not going to lie, I'm scared....scared of the unknown, scared of the treatments, scared of it all!

As I cried In the arms of my man, I told him all of that....he replied we are in this together, he's got my back, we'll be OK.....
He's been amazing, taking over the household duties, shopping and even cooking dinners from scratch!.. He still needs a bit more training on how to fold the towels though! Hahaha!

Yes, I'm going to have days when I'm angry at the world, when I want to scream and punch things, but hopefully most days will be light and easy to get through....I know I have an awesome team beside me, an amazing support network all round, and that is encouraging enough for me to get up every day with a smile on my face...

So today, I have woken up with a smile on my face, knowing together we can get through anything.....I love you to bits, Yes, we are an awesome team!

  • I created a group on my facebook page that people are invited into. Have had the odd overseas request but have declibed those.  It's become pretty much my diary as well as a photographic journey. I am over the pain too...13 days ago I had my mastectony and tisdue expanders and have been shocked at how much it hurts and how tired I still am.

  • That is a beautiful quote. Love your facebook page. I did something similar but made a private page for friends instead so I would not have to answer and send endless texts, which can in itself be quite distressing. You need to cry, to let it out. It is a tough journey, or whatever you may have chosen to call it. Glad you have woken with a smile on your face today. Just one day at a time:) xx

  • Looks a great site. Eventually it all gets a bit much and you just need to release sometime. Glad you feel better after it and happier today.
