Vent!!

Oh crap I was going along ok but just saw the Oncologist today and I start chemo in a few days....so Christmas will be a write off. I'm having a big poor me moment, and even that is making me frustrated! I just cancelled Christmas with my family,(my sister text and said it won't be the same without me!!), can't see the point in having my girls with me if I'm going to be no good to them then and a friend (who has been non existent since I told her my cancer news) was unfortunate to just text me asking how I am and I just flew off the handle at her. I feel so pissed off at this cancer crap!!! I honestly feel like hiding in a hole just incase anyone comes into my vicinity and I snap at them. Well I guess it's healthy to feel angry and not deny my feelings but I'm exhausted...and terrified of starting chemo. So to summarise....positive Angie has temporarily left the building!

  • Angie, can't you still have Christmas with a bit more help from the others? Although I did feel off during chemo it didn't stop me socialising (gently) and you'll feel so much better surrounded by family than wallowing alone... Jenn
  • Hi Angiebelle I didn't find chemo that debilitating and I wouldn't cancel Christmas over it just yet! I worked full-time throughout and still managed to have a social life. Yes, some days were crap and I couldn't get off the couch or out of bed but not that many in the scheme of things. Don't let BC ruin your Christmas - still plan to enjoy but make room to rest too. Best of luck, Tammy x
