    I can only imagine how frustrating this is for you :(

    Do you have a doset box? This might help you to remember and reassure yourself that you have taken your tablets :)

    It's not your fault, please try not to feel guilty. Your wife and children love you :)

    The doctor/consultant who dealt with removing a lump, do you still see this doctor/consultant?

    Don't apologise, we are here for you

    I really think you would benefit from seeking professional emotional support, understandably what you've been going through would create a great deal of anxiety. 

    I don't know what to say in reply to what they said...all I can say is that they should have not said that and I'm so sorry.

    I can't see any pictures, if they are of graphic content they may or may not have to be approved my admin.

    Have you tried contacting the Samaritans? You can phone or email them :)

    I am sorry, I'm not a professional, all I can do for you is to be here for you, getting things off your chest, I wish I was a consultant who was able to help you.
