Hi V
It's a huge fricken deal! I have cried a few times the most recent was at chemo (tuesday... #5) all over a collapsed vein, meaning the nurse had to stick me again....my hubby was a great support as always, but the dear man next to me (sitting with his wife) got up and brought me the box of tissues from the nurses counter...that made me blubber even more!
I don't think we realise the impact this whole thing has on not only us, but everyone around us. We remain positive, and boy somedays that soooo hard to do!....we put on the brave, smiley face for everyone else. Having short, and now no hair, has been quite liberating for me! I am known for my hair (and big boobs, ironically!) So having both of those things (the boobs later) taken away from me is quite shocking, but I am now embracing it....It's my "trophy" that I am kicking cancer's butt....the boobs? well that may be quite a different story and I'll deal with it after chemo.
As tough as it can be, we must do everything in our power to ensure this bitch doesn't come back! So power on Girl! You can do this, we are right beside you every step of the way :)
Wishing you easy recovery and beautiful days.
Good luck for your port....
Xx
Tracy
