Feeling Down
I have been feeling quite sad the last couple of days. I don’t know if it is cause the whole BC experience this year has hit me or it’s this time last week we were supposed to go on our holiday and we...

I am SO sorry to hear you're having a bad time of it just now, @"Kiwi Angel" - none of us know just 'when it will hit' - but we can be pretty confident that sometime or another - it WILL hit. Absolutely no-one is immune. And definitely totally normal!!
You've had a helluva lot on your plate - so, a the end of the chemo, this is the 'relief valve' .... otherwise we would explode! :( Try not to get too anxious about the Tamoxifen - not everyone gets all the symptoms! Fingers crossed you sail thru it!! xx BIG hugs coming your way from Forster xxxx
It's terrific that you were able to raise it here & get all the love & support that only those who've gone thru it can give.
What a bugger that your Holiday dates were changed - that was the button, I reckon! It sounds like hubby has sorted your weekend out nicely tho, so enjoy the celebrations & enjoy being pampered!
We are all very good at 'getting on with it' and pretending that everything is OK with ourselves, but deep down, I think we know that there is this 'black dog' that can jump out & scare the shit out of us at any time. The good thing is - that it is a temporary situation & by talking about it with family & friends - we will get thru it.
One of my uke buddies came back after 3 weeks away yesterday & asked me how I was going with my tablets - and I got all teary!! I've been fine with it all up til now ..... ya never know when it will hit! :(
Yep, the surgery & initial treatment may be over - but we're not over it .... yet. That will come, hopefully with time.
I've also become pretty antisocial - I can't be bothered inviting friends over for dinner (mind you - that's been coming on over the last few years! LOL) I'd rather pay for us all to go out for dinner! Less stress! Hubby, being quite deaf (even with his hearing aids) and having mild/serious dementia has also become less social over the last few years, so maybe I caught it from him!?
Take care, be kind to yourself ..... have a GREAT WEEKEND!! xxx
