Fed up

I was diagnosed in July 16 with breast cancer followed by 5 long years of treatment and troubles. I had chemo, radio, herceptin, blood clot, zolodex injections each month, tablets and iv put 9 stone on with the drugs which then brings its own problems. I hate the way I look, I can't do anything for myself, I can't walk more than a few steps and I suffer with depression, anxiety, panic attacks. 

I thought I'd get through chemo have a double mastectomy and it would be over, just keep telling myself I'm lucky to be here but if I'm honest it doesn't matter I'm fed up of being like this and going through all this. 

Has anyone else had any trouble?

  • Hi Nfra101600, 

    I'm sorry to hear you've had so much to deal with since being diagnosed with breast cancer. There are many members here who have had similar difficulties with treatment and side effects during their cancer journeys and I'm sure they will be along soon to offer their support and share their experiences with you. One member that comes to mind is [@Jolamine]‍ who has also been through a lot over the last few years and now that I've tagged her in this post I'm sure she will reply when she can to share her experiences with you. 

    I'm not sure if you have made your GP or medical team aware of the depression, anxiety and panic attacks you are experiencing but if you haven't please do let them know as they will be in the best position to help you with this. 

    Post as much you need to Nfra101600 and remember that someone will always be here to listen and help you when times get tough.

    Kind regards,
