Re: Messed up emotionally

So sorry that you are feeling bummed out. I think all of us can relate stories that hurt our feelings during or after treatment. Just another good reason to come to our Her2 site and check in with your buddies. Completing chemo and taking care of an infant, now that is an accomplishment. You will get stronger every year. In the meantime there will probably be more instances that rattle you and make you feel cheated or unhappy. Just know that these feelings will pass. Acknowledge it and then shake it off. Surround yourself with really dear friends. A counselor is a good idea too. Too bad you can't just move close to Andi....she keeps us all up. Go Andi....you continue to be an inspiration.

Hugs,
