Struggling with Cancer and Life's Challenges

Hey Trudy! Thank you so much for sharing what you’re going through. First and foremost, you are not weak. Anyone navigating cancer, grief, pain, and unexpected life changes all at once would feel overwhelmed. Letrozole can absolutely take a toll on your body and your emotions. It’s okay to say that out loud, even when you know it’s an important part of your treatment plan. Being sick on top of it just makes everything feel heavier but you know that will pass. I’m really sorry about the prenup conversation. I know how hurtful and badly timed that must feel. But maybe there’s a way to flip it. A prenup doesn’t just protect him, it can protect you, too. After everything you’ve been through, you know better than most how quickly life can shift. This might actually be a moment to stand even more firmly in your worth and make sure your future is protected, on your terms. Try not to judge yourself for having a rough day. You’re allowed to grieve what’s been lost and still hold space for what’s ahead. We’re here when you need to talk, vent, or just feel seen. We’re so grateful you’re part of this community. 💛 Suzanne (Community Moderator)

Thank you. I have meds on board and am feeling tad better. Just at times it’s a lot to cope with. I appreciated the helpful comments.

Sorry to hear you had a bad day. Glad you are feeling better. You are not weak and bad days are allowed. Sometimes they can blind side us. You are stronger than you know. This is not the life any of us would choose but how we go through it what makes us stronger than we ever thought we could be. Best wishes to you and remember you are never alone 🙂

Don't feel bad. We all have these days. Just the other day, my work friends found me crying at my desk for no reason. The drugs mess with you physically and emotionally. Hang in there.

Go a head and have a bad day. I do. I’m 81 and hubby 84. I’ve been fighting stage 4 metastatic cancer for 5 years. It’s not peaches and cream everyday. My hubby found out that he has Afib and shocking doesn’t work. I pray chill a lot and read. I don’t care about dust anymore. I do see a counselor once a month and I do feel better. I wish I could give you a hug. Remember the saying I am woman hear me roar!🦁

Thank you that’s a nice message. My fiancé broke up with me on an email so I’m having a few bad days now. 😬. You are an inspiration.

I'm hurting listening to your pain why a pre-nup? It's only been 7 months but what you need is support from him and others close to you if he moves on, you have to concentrate and focus on you. Love and get to know yourself again. No major decisions of any kind right now. This is all about you regardless of how long it takes and how many adjustments have to be made for your full recovery you need to be told and feel you're beautiful and worth love. I wish you the best relax as much as you need to and feel better soon!

Truly I'm so sorry about your situation concerning your fiancé that was mean. Realize you're worth love and support even through and after this Cancer journey. Grieve but don't stay there. This journey is all about you and when a person can't stick around during your darkest time in your life it says a lot about that person which also including friends and family. It all about you remember that you're incredible!

Having a day where everything feels overwhelming is completely understandable when dealing with cancer treatment side effects and life changes all at once. Taking time to acknowledge difficult feelings isn't weakness - it's part of processing the many challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis, and reaching out to this supportive community shows real strength during a tough moment.
