Just seen my mental care nurse this after noon and she said to me that I haven't excepted this false breast. It's hard to accept it as it is too heavy for me and its weight is 1 kilo. I find that wearing the false breast that it is more heavy than my natural breast so I feel weighty on one side and light on the other side. Even when it weighs 1 kilo it seems to be more heavy for me. I am going to put items in my bra like oranges etc to see if I can find some weight to give me something that I am happy about. Do u seem to have this too if u are in the same boat as me? Would someone help me with this one please? Glenys. Thanks 0 ... View more

Not a actual mountains but to go and have something in my life that would feel great and that is swimming. I want to go with it slow. Not to give up at all. it's sometimes hard to see into the future. I have my cousin Steve coming from Sydney over easter and that has cheered me up a lot. We're going to have a lot of time together going into the city. Thanking you Glenys. 0 ... View more

I can say Amen to this when people who haven't experience can change over night. How would they respond to that then as they have been underselling us in the meantime. My cousin Steve is coming down from Sydney over easter and will be staying with us for 4 days. he will be playing in the band nationals with his trumpet. Glenuys.0 ... View more

I feel sorry how you feel and then your son can't do anything for you. he is unable to do anything for you as my son is the same way. They aren't trained. I do get these feelings myself with my son and then feeling as though he has lost confidence in me. Is this how you feel also that your son has lost confidence in you. These feelings we haven't had them before and they are real so we deal with them as best we can. If you go and read what is on my post you might find something that I really apprecated. It is with wombat to what they said to me might be helpful to you. Glenys ... View more

Hi Wombat, Thanking you so much to what you have said to me. You are right as I do dwell on the surgery too much and it makes me cry. I cried and then fell asleep. When does it leave us to have a pleasent time in our lives? I feel good tonight as I have just rested on the lounge chair and dosed off for abour 3 hours this afternoon. How do we focus on a new challenge after surgery that I had 16 months ago. What cancer have you resisted and what kind of surgery too? Glenys ... View more

hi Allicat, It's has been a rough journey for me as you say. You had breast cancer too but yours are small. So you would have hardly any drainages after discharging you. Boy you are lucky as it would have been great to have your breast back on your chest. The hard time that I am having is that I get undersold. Wombat4 helped me out with this and I feel so happy about it. No one understands it till they go through it themselves. I hope it doesn't take over my life after to what wombat4 said to me. These feelings have not been in my life but for the last 16 months. It is annoying to me to have cancer invade the 3 of us in my family Glenys. x00 You are such a good friend to me. ... View more

Hi Silly, I am so sorry to hear that your cancer isn't cureable but it is at the back of your mind. It is life changing and so it is but thanks for trying to understand me. How long have you had it? It seems to me that it has been along way as it has been diagnosed about 6 years. I think I might be right. You haven't told me how long it's been. What a shame for you. What kind is it also? My husband has had cancer too and it's at the back of his mind too. It's great to chat to people as we are all social beings. How do I get back to what I was doing before it all happened? I feel that when I express myself about how I feel to my husband and son they make me feel mad. These feelings I haven't had them in all my life. It's all strange to me also to have these feelings. Glenys. ... View more
