Sigh..big sigh...I just joined this group..before I had breast cancer I wrote everyday on the fibromyalgia site...I so get where you are..if I weren't married I don't think I would even care about a relationship..I actually got married again during this whole cancer experience...and unfortunately we live in a world that doesn't look inside much anymore...It bothered me to lose my hair more than my breast..and I obviously wanted to live or I wouldn't have gone through all that really rough treatment...BUT..it is so hard to re-invent yourself...especially as a woman..I didn't want an implant or any reconstruction because I didn't want any more surgery...I'm still at the beginning stages of radiiation...my hair is just starting to come back...I am scared that it won't all come back actually...just a fear..I have six wigs but am really tired or wearing them and any kind of head covering...but even though I have a husband it is still lonely and sometimes it makes you wonder if it was all worth it...I have three grown daughters whom I thought I was close with...the oldest, 39 and the youngest 33 (they live close) just abandonded me...period..I haven't seen or heard from them since my surgery in June...I gave up calling and emailing...my middle daughter, 36, stayed close to me and also to her sisters...I flew through treatment because all I thought and cried about was the cruelty of my two daughters..they have decided that where ever I am on Xmas they will not be...no reason no explanation..so I understand how you feel...I feel this way too because of my family...I wish I could say to you that things will improve...I just know that most humans run away from anything that scares them...I work in medicine so I am used to many kinds of illnesses, etc...How long ago was your surgery and I guess I don't understand why your hair did't return...you are not alone...but it can all be very depressing...life in general regardless of whether you have an illness or not...I just think that we are living in very different and difficult times...I always think about the kids in Children's Hospital in Boston (not far from where I live)...they have so much courage...I so hope the both of us can hold onto something that keeps us here...I find myself just grateful for the birds in my feeder...imagine that...Susan
My heart goes out to you and I hope you can have a nice holiday!
