Hi, That was the worst bit for me - wondering if I would see my 4 children grow up and how my husband and children would cope without me!!!  My children were 8, 6, 4 and 2yrs when I was diagnosed.
Think that is a normal feeling and actually found having the children helped me get through the treatment.
Absolutely shattered by the end of it, relief that the chemo was over and my body saying - ok, now you can relax a little.
Even now I have thoughts of what if...... but that is exactly what it is now - a thought, and not something that is on my mind day in day out.
Take care, well done for getting through it with 2 children.Star

I am a survivor with two kids...
going through the entire treatment and illness was hell.
It wasn't the illness, totally -- it is the thought that you might one day leave your two little kids without a mom.]]> Fri, 27 May 2011 07:15:47 +0000 http://www.forum.pinkladies.org.gg/forum_posts.asp?TID=327&PID=338#338 Contact Breast Forms : What do you think of Contact Breast Forms? http://www.forum.pinkladies.org.gg/forum_posts.asp?TID=321&PID=335#335 Author: sprout

I loved my stick on bobby!I could go to the beach and change into my bathers like a  normal person instead of worrying if the false boob is going to fly out from under the towel onto someones sandcastle.Its also great for swimming.Tongue
You have to take care of it to keep the contact working effectively but soon the washing and care of it becomes part of your routine.
It also takes awhile to get used to taking it on and off.feels a bit strange but its worth perservering as the benefits are great.At first you worry about sticking it in the right place but soon its second nature and i just slapped it on without thinking.I used to shower bath and do any thing in mineEmbarrassed
It can stay on for up to 3 days.You can also wear a normal...yes normal....bra with it.

Have you tried sage oil for the flushes.You can get it in tablet form from the chemist.It worked well for me for awhile.
I have also purchased a chillow,which is great for the night.Its a pillow insert that is filled with water which stays cool,Just put chillow on Goggle and see the product.

Angry Yes I do get flushes, had to come off HRT.  My doctor has prescribed Clonidine, but on reading possible side effects have been nervous to take it (and it says avoid alchohol!!) so am still suffering.]]> Wed, 24 Sep 2008 16:03:25 +0000 http://www.forum.pinkladies.org.gg/forum_posts.asp?TID=322&PID=332#332 Contact Breast Forms : What do you think of Contact Breast Forms? http://www.forum.pinkladies.org.gg/forum_posts.asp?TID=321&PID=331#331 Author: sprout

its important to keep as active as possible throughout treatment as it is thought this will actually be of benefit during recovery. ]]> Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:40:19 +0000 http://www.forum.pinkladies.org.gg/forum_posts.asp?TID=317&PID=329#329 Can anyone recommend anywhere? : Online suppliers ... http://www.forum.pinkladies.org.gg/forum_posts.asp?TID=323&PID=328#328 Author: pinkladies
