Dear MicheleR,
Do you have many friends?
I guess most of us have many acquaintances. Some people are easier to talk to than others.
I think when they ask about us, we tell them but don't dwell too much.
I've had the odd experience that because I haven't lost my hair, people forget to ask how I'm going.
Do you feel any better with your prosthesis?
I feel mine serves a purpose. I look ok out and about.
But I don't like being asymmetrical. So I wear it. At home I leave it off sometimes.
I think I will have a reconstruction, when everything has settled. My Breast surgeon doesn't want to talk about it until my anniversary of surgery.
You do have a little more on your plate than me. My children are grown.
Are your teenagers caring and helpful? Or being difficult like most teenagers.
Try not to be scared to ask them to do things for you or the household.
Are your Mum and Dad alive? And helpful?
I hope that your friends and family improve and come through for you.
I'm thinking of you. It is hard to imagine now, but you will get through this.
