Still feeling discombobulated!

Thanks so much @julez1958....thanks for your encouraging words and I agree that energy can be expended on those not around and instead,  to focus on gratitude and and being open to new people in our lives. That is a wonderful reframe. Many thanks 

Hi @AnnieMichelle_123
It is a sad fact that on top of the physical and emotional toll from breast cancer some of those you thought you could rely on “ go missing” either physically or emotionally.
But on the other have some people do really step up and hopefully you will make some new buddies along the way.
I have a friend who is a retired nurse and she has been really amazing  - we have become  much closer as a result of my diagnosis and she calls me after any significant medical  appointments ( and even not so significant ones).
I hope that in time thinks will settle for you - I found it was just a waste of my energy to fret about those who went missing - I try to concentrate on the good things in my life .
Take care🌺

Wow! It is very comforting to read your responses and see the beautiful posts of support. I have got through surgery and radiotherapy and one month into hormone blockers. It has been a road of five months so far. I am in a terrific rehab programme and meeting women also affected by breast cancer. 
I am still transitioning into a new way of being and relating in the world. I have changed and used to be very social but now I have social fatigue especially in noisy cafes and intense conversations. The other day, I met an old friend for brunch. She has missed me and as a result, took over the conversation and unfortunately it was very one sided. She didn't want to talk about the cancer and the journey. I left feeling fatigued and not heard. Have others experienced this before? 

Woohoo!!  I haven't got any set dates yet @Spillsy . @JoeyLiz ..... I need to work out my uke gig commitments & any Dr stuff ... then hope to be down there for4-5 days ..... and need to ok them with our owner friends!!  Keen to meet up if we can - it could be a mini social!!  xx

How was your Launceston visit @Spillsy ?  I was there a few years back, mainly for kayak fishing with a couple of buddies! I had a ball!!  I loved St Helens and Ansons Bay & Scammander ..... good fun in my fishing kayak!

@arpie oh I do love Binnalong!

I hope to be down at Binnalong in March ..... is that too far to arrange a gathering??  ;) 

Hello lovely, 
great to hear from you.
i have let the fitness/exercise   slip and know it should be a priority, then tiredness slips back in, i was doing well mid year, and feeling like I was making progress. 
good luck for your interview.
i am off to Launceston tomorrow, but would love to catch up later this week. 

@Spillsy Hello my dear friend! I was only thinking the other day we were overdue for a lunch date to catch up! 
As some of the other lovely  ladies have suggested finding a new focus might help, i myself have joined a gym in a hope to get my fitness up and I'm finding I miss it when I don't go (I have never before said that about exercise!)
But I think you may have found your calling in art, your painting was fantastic, keep it up.
I have an interview tomorrow but text me when your free and we will book in a date  soon xx

That is awesome, @Spillsy - I can't even draw a straight line!!  :(   We have my husband's art all over the house!!  ;)
