Hi Denise,
I can identify with what you are saying. It is 5 years since I had my mastectomy, chemo and radiation. I have times when I feel quite uneasy, restless and wondering what is going to happen next. I am always having conversations in my head, telling myself that all is ok.
I find the best thing is to keep busy. At the moment I am quite in control I think. I had a few days away from the usual routine to relax, swim, walk and eat out. It was lovely. Now I am home again and have spent a lot of time, early mornings and late afternoons gardening. I find I am really enjoying what I am doing each day. I do work mostly on weekends though.
I don't think we ever stop thinking about what we have been through and wondering when it will rear its ugly head again. I have thought about it every day since I was diagnosed. Life is a bit of a rollercoaster now, as far as mood goes but we have to stay positive, positive, positive.
I hope you can find something that will help put you at ease so you can enjoy each day. All the best, Jill xx
