I am in similar situation also, right mastectomy, just finished chemo, 4 kids 5,7,9,11 and about to start radiation which I have to move to Canberra for for 5 weeks starting next Thursday. Everything is just so bloody stressful. You are trying to maintain the status quo for your kids and husband and sometimes it's not that easy.
I honestly just try to keep breathing and get through each day. I am really peeved that I am missing my youngest child starting school...which is something no one can quite understand why I am peeved. I am worried what will happen at home when I am not here and I worry like hell if this radiation is going to actually do anything other than wreck my silicone implant which was done when I had mastectomy. Which will then mean I have to go back no do it all over again.
I truly wonder how much more women like you and I and everyone on this site can take? BC just keeps on giving!
I wish you well and as many positive thoughts I can conjure. Hang in there. Lisa xx
