Tired and sad

I am having a very sad day today. I am on day 15 of my last chemo and I feel more tired today than I did a week ago. Atleast i dont feel as sick as I did. I just went shopping for a little over an hour and my feet are so sore. What is that about?

I have decided to have my left breast removed now as my right breast was littered with pre cancer cells. I felt great about the decision and now I am just scared. I am seeing my surgeon next week to talk to him about it.

I am truely have a whoa me kinda day today.

    Hi Tanya sorry to hear you are having a sad day.sometimes though we need to let our guard down a bit and let it out.we cant be strong all the time! The meds and chemo mix also play havic with our emotions. You have come so far and facing another surgery is scarey.You have every right to feel the way you do. It all takes time to process everything that's happening to you.and you have to remember your mind and body has gone through so much.so healing takes time. I dont know what chemo u are having one of mine was Taxol and even now 5 months since my last dose my feet ache terribly.I can hardly walk in the mornings or if ive been sitting for a while.so i hate to say it but it sounds normal. hope tomorrow brings a happier day for you take care Annie x

    Hey Annie,

    Why are you having your ovaries out? Is it something you decided to minimise more risk?

    God I just cant seem to stop crying today!
