Hi,
I'm just pass my 2 year mark with MBC, had the usual rounds , chemo , double mast, radio, I personally found getting over the radio more difficult than anything else, I too was force into early menopause and will add a hip replacement on top (at 51)and now going through a change in medication.
I talk to a psychologist every 4 weeks or so and she is a great help, the patience tanks rans low , the lack of sleep doesn't help but it could be your medication menopause does it too , talk to your cancer nurse there is stuff you can take short term to get your sleep pattern back, the mood swings I was cautioned about and I don't get angry ,I cry at the drop of a hat, ( commercials for" we''re all in this together ") wish they would take them off the air. Disney movies , forbidden in my house.
But I agree with Lythe pick something to be grateful for each day and if you smile at least once a day that is a great thing, eat , cry , be mad , give yourself a break about processing all the crap you have been thru, when I am really down ,I go on here and read the friday funnies.
Hang in there ......
