It is 4 years today since i was diagnosed with BC, the day my now nearly 9 year old daughter started school.

My memories of that day should have been those of joy and happiness. Instead, they were blighted by fear and shock.

 

Today she is back to school, along with her now 5 year old brother. I have shed some tears, been working and now off to do the shopping, but i will never forget that day. not ever.

The best bit, is , i am still here, to see both children off to school, to collect them later, to make their tea and read stories at night. - thank goodness…

I had my 4 year mammogram and check up yesterday, though I was diagnosed on 6th October 2009 - I’ll never forget that date either!

 

Everything was fine yesterday so I can relax for another year - and it does get easier with time.

 

Well done NAZ - now make time for yourself while the children are at school.

It has been an emotional week . I underestimated the impact of such a journey and now that my reconstruction is more or less complete, I can stand back and breathe a sigh of relief!

I really want to get on with life now, and although I will never forget, I don’t want it at the forefront of my mind anymore.

Time to eat some cake, have a cup of tea and relax for 5 minutes!!

Thanks everyone xxx
