sad and frustrated

Goincrzy8

Having one of those emotional days. Feeling sad, trying to get all the pre chemo tests done so I can get this ball rolling and over with.

Finally got the CT scheduled, the Echo not till the 19th and now find out the MO office did not request the port placement. SO frustrating.

Daughter came home for 10 days in Dec when I had mastectomy and then came back on Wed for our family Christmas. She left to go home to day and I cant stop crying.

Today meeting with a friend who has had Ovarian Cancer we are doing the look good feel good class. Hopefully that will cheer me up. I did get 2 wigs while daughter was here.

Many of us agree that waiting is the worst, especially when we just want to get on with it. Only a few weeks after surgery, combined with the holidays, you certainly have been through so much that a good cry sounds like a "normal" response to me! Hopefully your port procedure is now on the calendar.

Are you in the part of California having big rainstorms? Dreary weather is also a huge downer

Good idea on the Look Better class. I rec'd some really nice products at mine and tried on a couple wigs before purchasing both blond and red hair versions. Hang in there. You are stronger than you realize.

Thanks Vinrph, it helps so much when you ladies who have been before us are here to help us newbies along. Gives me faith that all is good and I will get thru this.

hi goincrzy8, I was in your place 4 years ago and the holidays were so emotional for me. So many tests, scans and info to take in before treatment started but it went quickly for me and I felt prepared to start chemo and everything else that was coming my way. Sending positive thoughts your way.

Hi,

I can definitely relate to what you're going through, I was just diagnosed on December 28, but I'm also a bone cancer survivor. When I was 18 and went through life changing surgeries and treatments for osteosarcoma I had both my sisters there supporting me every step of the way. They both have families of their own now and live out of state, they plan on being here for my surgery later this month. I just miss having them here everyday. I've been staying with my parents this month and my friends have been amazing, which has really helped. I've just been at a loss for words, plus an emotional wreck having to fight cancer yet again. Stay strong, and keeping you in my thoughts!
