3 years from finishing treatment

So tomorow I go for my annual check up - I always hate the check ups even tho they say not to worry about them. And then on 28th its 3 years since the end of my treatment - lumpectomy, MX, axillary clearance, chemo, rads, and tamox which I am 3 years into. Champagne on 28th I think!

 

Happy to report I am now fitter than I was at diagnosis despite mild lymphodema, I have chanegd my life a bit so I only work 4 days, my allotment is FULL to bursting with produce, I see as much as possible of family and friends, I sing as much as I can, my work as self employed person is tricky in the recession but adequate, and I can save enough to go cross country skiing each year .

 

My learning- its tough being diagnosed, its tough being treated, but out the other side is a different and sometimes better place, sometimes worse place, than before.  BC is now part of my history like it or not.

Hope your check up is as positive as mine was.  I have done 18 months so you are ahead of me.  We are lucky - we faced it and can move on.

 

Best wishes
