Dear Alicat, Good day I am back to chat to you as this is a good heading to put here. We haven't chatted for a while yet here I am. Then I miss our chats too. Did you receive the latest pink Breacon book in the mail recently as the front page is interesting. Have you seen it and read it? How do we find our inner strength as it points out how hard it is. This has got my attention. Have you got some answers and how do you cope? Glenys xx ... View more

Dear Kasianne, Unless you have been personally through breast cancer I feel you wouldn't know what it is like till you go through it yourself. I feel for your Mum to be in that situation as I am. False breast replaces the natural one and women don't like it. being flat as a pancake, and lob sided is not my cup of tea. It takes a year or more to get over a mastectomy and then there is a lot of grief. I do agree that Life is important, but I feel this touches everything of you if you go through it. Be careful as your mother has had it Glenys. ... View more

Hi everyone, Would there be someone who has a false breast as I want to ask you a question. How do you accept your false breast and treat it as a friend? How would you cope with it by taking it off each night to go to bed? Would you think it is giving you a break? Have you seen the last Breacon book as I am referring to the front page of it? Question: How would you gain your inner strength to move forward? Glenys ... View more

Hi Pamela, I haven't been on here for a while but I need help from you. I have had no recontruction on my right side of my chest as I had a mastectomy in Oct 2010. This annoys me as I have to wear a false breast. It feels different to a natural breast. Laying in bed at night and having had the mastectomy on my right side and laying on my right side feels satisfying to me because I have my left breast weighing 1 kelo. Laying in bed on my left side it really annoys me where I have no weight in my right side. This doesn't help me to sleep. It is quite depressing to me. Will you help me? Glenys xx ... View more

Does anyone understand to what I have said above? I have had a mastectomy in Oct 2010 without a recontruction. Then I have to put up with a false breast. Does anyone know how this feels with them? To wear a false breast feels quite different to a natural breast. Glenys ... View more

Hi Allicat, I think it is a great idea to get into something else to help with our emotions. I want to get into swimming as I did that 3 times a week beforehand for 2 hours at a time. I enjoyed it too as it made me feel great afterwards. Thanks for helping me out. Glenys. ... View more

Hi Allicat, One thing it took to my attension is that you said that maybe how you accept things is when you can start to think of them as part of your life, instead of something outside your life that u wish would go away. That is right but how do I do this Allicat? I am angry about the 2 lots of surgery not the results as I am happy with my results. They are good results as noone would get 98% as I did. I am happy with this. I have to put up with a falsie, lob sided, flat, losing the weight in my bra then regaining it again as I haven't had a reconstruction. How do I stop hating this situation? All I want is my natural one back again without cancer and I know that won't happen - SAD. How do I accept the lobsidedness etc and what I have mentioned as it is 'annoying'. You are a darling Allicat. This is on my mind a lot of the week. Glenys xxx ... View more

Hi Allicat, All I am saying that I hope don't have a reacurrence in the future as it hasn't happened. I am so glad that you had a great time with your sister. Would you help me out with this. I have good results with my cancer having no chemo or radiation and to get on with life. But I hate the experience of having cancer and what I have to put up with. I haven't had a recontruction so I wear a false breast, lob sided, flat on the right side etc and I think the friends are saying to me that is all hatred with the surgery and I can't move on with it. I hate this experience that I had surgery with this diagnoses. Do I ignore the feelings of being lob sided etc? What do I do with it. I can go on hating the experience for the rest of my life too. I bet you feel the same way with it. How do I accept it? Glenys. ... View more

Hi Sarah, It's a shame the way u feel from what u have written. I experience the same thing too. People think that when surgery is over you are OK so everything is OK and finished. They don't know how emotionally and traumatic it is for you. Once they have it their opinions will change over night. My story is on line if u want to have a peep. Glenys. ... View more
