more surgery

Mate it sounds like you've been to hell and back with this disease. You sound like me with my oncologist. I actually told them to shove the chemo!!! and asked if this stuff is so safe, why the hell do they wear hazchem suits when manufacturing and handling it. yet you are telling me this s*** is safe to put in my body??? I asked her if she would ever have it?

I don't know what to advise on the Mastectomy and reconstruction even though I have had one, it's another inconvenience as recovery takes a while. I had my husband who in the end told me 'get off your A** and start pulling your weight and stop using your surgery as an excuse to get out of looking after the family' and this was about 6 weeks post surgery. I too have had very little support from family and have a husband that is so nasty at times if you read one of my other posts of how he  has treated me throughout all this. I think there needs to be more support for women like us that have very little support and I am not just talking about an occasional meal dropped off or a text asking how are you feeling.

I too had the 'do it for your kids' thrown at me from every angle. I got told I'd be selfish if I didn't so I did. 6 weeks post chemo, still feel out of sorts. I am downing over 20 pills from my naturopath a day, detoxing etc. I'm even going to try meditation on Friday nite. At the moment I just can't seem to get motivated to exercise (and I desperately need to, everytime I look in the mirror I cringe).

Lets hope the mastectomy is the end of it for you.
