Bit of background: I am nearing the end of treatment for breast cancer. Had lump removed, both breasts reduced and all lymph nodes removed because cancer had spread. Last chemo this week and then Radiotherapy.
My DSis called me over the weekend for a chat and she made comments about my body being bloated from my treatment and asked if the bloating would go afterwards. I was a bit taken aback by her bluntness tbh. I don’t remember what I said back to her but changed the subject and cut the call short.
It has been playing on my mind all weekend and I now feel judged by the way I look – Up until now I have just been getting on with it one day at a time, but now I wonder if other people are judging me because of the way I look? I have lost my hair too so my confidence is pretty low.
I feel like I should tell my DSis but have no idea how to word a response to her without upsetting her. My DS thinks I should let it go, but it is really playing on my mind. Will it make me feel better if I tell her?
I would really appreciate some words of wisdom from MN.
