Dear Alsopt, I will have a winge too! I am sick of people telling me how well I look!! I think the team at the Look good Feel Better workshop over achieved. I might be putting a brave face on or at least one with blusher and lipstick, but I feel like curling up in a ball sometimes and I have felt like crap for months. But we keep on.
i am glad to day is brighter for you.

Hi there, hope today is a better one for you. Chemo sucks and you have every right to feel sick of it, I know I felt exactly the same way during the 5 months I had it, and there were many times I couldn't face the world and cope with people who didn't get the struggle. As the other ladies have said, hang in there - although it feels like it will never end, it does, and hopefully soon you will be able to start feeling stronger and well again. In the meantime, we're here for you. Jane xx

I would think it unhealthy if you didn't have a meltdown every so often. I am to find out next Tuesday the plan of strategy of Chemo. Dreading it, but if they give me a start date and an end one then I have a goal to adhere to. Hang in there!

Don't be so hard on yourself chemo and other treatment is hard. We all are only human and we all plod along saying we are good and people telling us we look so well and telling you that you are so strong. I have so many meltdowns at home and work, I vent and then pick myself up and keep trying to move forward. Chemo is tough and when you are going through you think it is never going to end. IT DOES.
Sending you a hug and good to see that you are feeling better today.xx
