You're not being in the least bit selfish. You've got to think of yourself in this situation. Try and take time for yourself, do the things you enjoy and can manage. Your emotions are bound to be all over the place, I'm sure your daughter understands. Xx

Hi,

Hope you dont mind me replying but with regard to your crying please dont forget this could well be a side effect of Tamoxifen. Most hormone drugs cause mood swings and even depresion. I was on Zoladex hormone therapy for prostate cancer and I found that good or bad news could start tears running down my face. As a man I found this very embarassing but there was nothing I could do to stop it. It only needed a small trigger. I finnished my treatment over four years ago and a few month after this thing got better.

I remain convinced the Zolodex together with the radiotion I had has saved my life so I now look back on it as a small price to pay.

You are not being selfish at all. Having Cancer causes us to go through so many differnt emotions. I wish you well and that you go on to make a full and complete recovery, Brian

Thanks, Brian. It could be hormones as well. I was taking tablets for PCOS so i guess stopping those, having lumpectomy, radiation now & going on tamoxifen has confused my body. I just want to wake up feeling well & pain free. Only had 3 days like that since January. I'm glad you've come out the other end & you live, love & laugh every single day.
