I thought it was only me. I finished treatment in October I just finished probably my last fat grafting for a double mastectomy July 1 st. I lost who I was. I was an ED nurse for years had 3 kids was always on the go now I stay home most of the time. I can’t remember a lot of nursing stuff or even basic stuff. I am extremely fatigued all the time and I don’t like myself at all. I can’t get back to where I was and I don’t know why.

It’s comforting to know I’m not alone. I’m so mad at myself for letting this happen to my body. Hardest part is my 4 kids. I’m trying to let it go.
I’ve stopped taking my AI’s. I have tried 2 and the side effects devastated me which led to 4 more surgeries. So now I’m terrified to try the 3rd one it and terrified not to.
I can relate to the staying home. I was always on the go but now get panicky when I leave the house. I almost feel agoraphobic.
Blessings to you, we have to stay positive!
