Afternoon girls am sam 37 yr old mum of 3
Found out on tuesday this week after scans blood test etc .why am i so happy one minute next am a mad bull cry at anything please say this will pass am goi...
I'm so so sorry, I know that rollercoaster well. I'm 28, no kids (going through Zoladex jabs every 4 weeks to try and preserve my fertility) and have just finished my 6 chemo cycles and am awaiting my op. The first few chemo sessions I found hard, and I was very emotional, but I found it got easier. It's never 'normal' but you begin to get accustomed (best way I can think to put it) to living in this cancer bubble. The sheer joy I felt at finishing chemo was immense, and you will get there, that day will happen.
Lean on whoever you feel able to and comfortable with. At the beginning I had a kind of 'good things that have happened' journal that I'd write in each day so that I was focusing on the good things going on, no matter how small they seemed. It's great that you've got a psychologist, I really found that helped too.
Just be kind to yourself, and make time for yourself. It's hard but you can get through this, you are stronger than you think, and there are people here who will always listen and understand.
Thinking of you x
