frustrated

Hi Deanne,

I've seen your face before.  i dont know how to make contacts or join groups on this site sorry.  Thanks for your advice.  I have tried counselling once but it didn't work out mainly because I'd just finished privately venting to her about my life and my husband and he walked in and she told him what I'd said.  We started arguing, she left, we didn't speak for a week.  Not helpful.  I have organised a session with a different counsellor this time on my first chemo.  Don't expect too much as it will be hard to talk sitting in a chair, hooked up to a drip for 6 hrs, with husband, nurse and 9 other patients & nurses about.

 I've actually had that sort of help all along, useless.  I'm treating this second lot of chemo as a second chance for them to get it right.  Already I've had the breast care nurse ring me, the chemo nurse ring and book me in and the surgeon has asked to see me., as well as my radiation therapist Rod calling to check on me.   All firsts for me that anyone even knows i'm coming let alone my number.  Oh even the dietician contacted me.  All a bit late but better late than never I spose.

Maybe in a year or two when I'm out the other side of all this treatment and my hair is back I might finally get my life back.  But at the moment that all seems too far away to think about.  So I'm just going day by day for now and expecting the worst but hope for the best.

I hadn't thought of Cancer Council for counselling so thanks for that tip I might just try them when I can get some time alone.

Thanks for listening & hearing me.  Nicole x
