Hi AlyB,
I was diagnosed with BC 4 years ago at the age of 48.- So like you, I felt a bit old for this group- but as you have found out through all this discussion that it is great to get some things off your chest, to know that you are not the only one out there battling these emotions and physical side effects, and to hear other womens stories. I really hit this year running- and have felt like I am now back at the level I was prior to being diagnosed. So dont be too hard on yourself or bow to how others think you should be feeling or what you should be doing. I did see an psychologist who was atttached to an Oncolgy unit- she was great- and really helped with the emotion side of things- I really do think the cancer and being catapulted into menopause does mess with your head!
All the best with your recovery
Love
Carolyn
