The Bitch That Bites Part II

I know what you mean - somehow it is easier for me to chat to a stranger experiencing similiar things, than with close family. For me there is an attraction of being able to be really honest online without having to cope with other's meltdowns.

To be fair though I am not very good at asking for help or emotional support from my family of origin and my own family; I am normally the one providing it! I am telling myself this obviously is part of my journey - needing to learn how to ask for, and accept assistance.

The breast care nurse that I had where I had surgery didn't give me any info other than where to buy my prosthesis and bra. Yep my understanding of first meeting is the same - except both surgeon and GP are leaning towards chemo and hormone treatment combo rather than just hormone and how long for.

As for wigs 'down there '- SH*T - hadn't even thought of that - hillarious! I thought it was pretty good when a well endowed friend agreed to go bra and prosthesis shopping with me. God who would I get to go down there wig shopping???? :) It takes the whole questions 'does this make my a*se look big?' to a whole new level!

I have been thinking about doing the no wig thing, and hats or nothing - shopping today with my 26 year old daughter was great: she went out of her way to find the most outragious animal hats and beanies!

Thanks for your reply- just checked out the time so should be off as another late one - I tell you my sleep patterns leave a lot to be desired at the moment!
