Sad and lonely

Hi angea​ You've been through so much so please be patient with yourself.   If you need to have a big cry, do it! If you feel you may be getting depressed, please reach out to a councellor / phone BCNA support number. I was diagnosed with high grade DCIS in November last year.  I had a double mastectomy with immediate implants.  I didn't go back to work until the end of January and the first 4 weeks were HORRIBLE!  There is no way I would have been able to get back to work any sooner. I think everyone on here can agree the waiting for results is absolute torture.  I had a few 'unhelpful' comments along the lines of 'oh, you didn't require treatment so you can't really say you've had the whole breast cancer experience' which at the time had me thinking that I shouldn't be complaining about anything.  We each have our own bc journey; it won't be the same as someone else with the same diagnosis because our bodies are unique and we all respond differently to recovery time, getting back on our feet etc.  You aren't being unreasonable by lack of visitors; you obviously enjoy your friends and there's nothing wrong with that. I know of someone who invited a different person around for coffee each day of her recovery, just so that she knew she would have a friendly face each day (she lives alone).  All the best with your results!
