The psychological impact of breast cancer .
Being told you have breast cancer isn’t easy. It might seem like you have enough to cope with just getting through treatment or surgery. But many women contend with feelings of anger, fear and guilt and it can be hard processing such feelings when everyone around you is telling you to fight the disease. So how does breast cancer affect the way we think about ourselves as women and our relationships? Jenni talks to Dr Cordelia Galgut, a practicing psychologist who has had breast cancer.
I cant even begin to tell you how having breast cancer has changed my life but it's comforting to know I'm not alone with the enormous fear this time of year brings. I suggest you all ....yep....you boys too ....seek this out on the iPlayer or try this http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01jhdgg/Womans_Hour_Michelle_Obama/
It wont necessarily explain the reasons I'm like I am .....but it's a huge relief to know these feelings are normal.
This however is not normal ......I'm taking my tortoise to the park so he can have a good old wonder round and be in a video

Having watched your progress from afar I think you have coped incredibly well, at least on the outside. Having had a scare myself I really appreciated both your general openness and your individual support.
