At the moment, I'm really not sure. I have been looking around on the web and getting info and learning more....
For the most part I am doing just fine. At times I feel a bit overwhelmed with all of this and the worries in my head come back. I'm just ready to move on from all of this....
A few people have told me how "brave" I am with this, but honestly I don't see it that way. Just because I have cancer doesn't mean my family doesn't need me anymore, or that everything is now...
Ok, thanks for the info all! I had no idea how it would work....
You have to switch insurance companies in the middle of treatment? There is a chance that something may happen with my husbands job and now I have to worry about the insurance. I know the majority of...
Thanks all. I know, one way or another, it will all work out. Maybe not the way I hope, but all I can do is go forward. I'm keeping up on my prozac and trying to not get obsessive about all of this....
I am on prozac, and it's a wonderful thing! LOL I know it's what is keeping me sane at the moment. I am doing better at thinking about the "now" rather than the "what if tomorrow" ect. If it wasn't...
Well, not only do I have breast cancer....having a mastectomy on my right breast.....I now have to worry about a layoff coming up in August where my husband works. This would be the time for...
Ok, I went to the doc yesterday and from the MRI, talking with her and my husband, I am going to have a masectomy done on my right breast with reconstruction right after. The skin doesn't want to...
What an experience that was!!! LOL At least the MRI is all done now. My doctor should call me in a couple of days to let me know what they found out....
Yeah, it was the pain that actually had me go back in. When I first had the lump checked out, nothing odd showed up. Then about four months later it started growing and getting tender, it started...
I'm having alot of pain in my right breast today, sharp pains right in the mass. I will be so glad to get the MRI done tomorrow and get moving on this. I found out my insurance should cover almost...
I wouldn't worry to much yet, just get into the doc as soon as you can and follow up on everything, be on top of it. Hang in there!...
I've been up and down this week waiting for the MRI to happen on Tuesday. At times I feel so positive that it's all going to be ok, it won't be to serious and life will go on. Then the "doom and...
Hi Holley, I just found out about my breast cancer, I go in on Tuesday for an MRI. I know how you are feeling, I've very worried about how I'm going to feel if I have to start any treatments, I'm...
Thanks Kathy. For the moment I'm doing pretty well. My lump is pretty large, about the size of a quarter, I don't know any of the details on it. It's just a lump very close to the surface, it feels...
If nothing else this does help switch my focus from what was causing the depression and anxiety, just when things get calmed down a bit, something else comes up. Lyn, I emailed you. :-)...
I have been more focused today and not so "doom and gloomy". My husband and my best friend are taking it harder than I am. LOL I'm the one telling them "It will all be ok" I just want to get through...
Prozac is a wonderful thing. I would hate to think about the shape I would be in without it. I went down the dark road of depression and anxiety before and I know that I don't want to do that again....
Thanks Lyn. Today is a new day. I know I will have many ups and down through all of this and I'm not going to let it get the best of me. I have told the majority of my family and that has helped with...
Thank you both. I remembered how much this board helped me out throught the depression and anxiety I had, comming back here just seemed like the right thing. I think my husband is reeling from this...
Thank you both for the thoughts are prayers. My mind is on such a roller coaster at the moment, from one end to the other. I know everyone probably says this, but I never thought this would be...
Hi all, don't know if you remember me. I was on about six-eight months ago with horrid depression and anxiety. I got on prozac and found a part time job and started feeling so much better. Things are...
Hugs to you and your family....
that I have breast cancer. I have posted before on the Depression and Anxiety board, that was last September, October..ect. I got that all under control and was feeling pretty good. Now this. This...
Hi there Justme, It can be hard being on your own. Try turning on the radio at night, just high enough to hear it. Also get a fan and turn it on for noise, it helps cover up those creaky noises you...
Mousey, I have so been there. Have you been to a doc or on any meds? Sounds like you really need someone to talk too. Back in September I was in a horrid state and thought nothing would ever be good...
Oh yes, very much so! For me it's just a circle of ups and downs. Somedays I am just fine and actually happy and calm, others I am a freaking basket case who just wants to stay in bed and forget the...
Thanks. Yes, I have been able to take alot of steps forward, ever so often, a step or two back. I am better focused about how things are and that I can only do what "I" can do. I take it day by day...
I don't know, for me it's not so much the worry, it's the facts and such. I did pretty well today, and am feeling pretty good, hopefully it will last....
I would send in something and maybe call them and let them know you are working on it. Most docs know that most people can't pay big bills fast. I'm sorry things are rough for you, hope you get to...
I do know that in the end worrying about things will not help at all, trying to decide just what will happen in the future is a waste and to stress and worry about it causes me nothing but...
I'm sorry you are feeling down. How long have you been on the meds? You have to take them for them to work. I know how hard it is to talk to anyone about how you are feeling, have you talked to your...
I'm so sorry all this is going on. It's hard when both of you are to the point of having breakdowns, been there between me and my hubby. You could go find a nice quiet corner and just cry, it can...
LOL, yup, that's what would be happening to it in this house. And you are right a.l., most people just don't get it. Vent away here!!!!...
I hope your first day on your job goes well! It would be nice to hit the lottery, LOL. I get tired of the money thing, it wears on a person. Through my worst times I would sit and do all kinds of...
I'm sorry things are so tough for you at the moment. I know how that feels, I got a job for the first time in 16 years back in October, just part time, something to help me keep my mind busy when I...
Thank a.l. Alot of problems I can let go, but there are the select few that just won't leave. I bring alot of it on myself too, just today I was looking at the housing market here where I live and my...
Hi Christina, I have been in your spot, and I know how horrid it is. Have you been on the meds very long? When I started mine I couldn't sleep at all for the first few nights and kept waiting for...
I can sometimes do the "oh well". A girl drives through our fence and the back yard is destoryed and the sliding door broken...."oh well" at least I get a new door out of it! The girls get a...
Thanks Bear. :-) Hugs to you too!!! I do ok at times, I just can't let myself relax all the way, ya know. It's always in the back of my head waiting to POP. Then there are days and it's all I can...
I just want a time where I don't have to worry about jobs, money, bills...ect. I know that will never happen, but it would be nice to just let it go. I want to enjoy things, not be dragged down with...
I am HORRIBLE about overthinking and I know it. Thats one of the reasons I got a part time job, just to help keep my mind busy through alot of the day. At times I wish I had not have done it, but the...
Many hugs and prayers to you Lisa. I hope you husband is on the mend and home soon!...
Hi Georgia. Yeah, I know those feelings and am dealing with them too. I can be just fine for a bit then it will just hit me. Just keep taking it day by day, at this point I don't know what else to...
I'm ok alot of the time now, but the situation is the same. It's always up in the air about what will happen with the company my husband works for and him leaving isn't really an option at the...
I am so tired of living this way. How do we move forward and move on from the past? I don't want to spend the next 20 years of my life living with debt worry and job worry and depression and anxiety....
Many hugs to you Chelle! I'm sorry this woman is such a thorn in your side. I can understand about the money issues, we have them too and they drag me down. I hope it works out for you! Keep us...
Keep hanging in there Seechell. I know exactly what you are feeling. I'm just taking it day by day...sad thing is, I've been doing that for months now. I do have to make myself get up and move or I...
Krissie, I hope things get better soon for you. At times it just never seems to end. Don't feel bad about taking care of yourself, sometimes it just has to be done....
