Hi, I just wanted to share that I was diagnosed with primary breast cancer, grade three, mildly oestrogen positive in March 2010, and although there have been ups and downs since, I’m still (touches wood!) fortunate enough to have no evidence of disease, 7 years on. My boys were 2 & 4 years old then, now they’re 9 and 11. I’ve seen the youngest start primary school and the oldest start high school. This time seven years ago, though, I was a terrified sobbing wreck and totally sure I’d not be around to see this. I had a lumpectomy, chemo, radiotherapy and tamoxifen. I remember so clearly how tough those early days were and the hope it gave me to hear back from members who were a few years down the line and still (more touching wood) doing ok, so I hope that reading this helps someone in the same way! Sending lots of love to you all. Take care xxxx
Thank you so much for this tors. Like most of us on here I imagine, now my active treatment is recently completed, (just the hormones for 5 or more years now) and I’ve time to draw breath, thoughts of possible recurrance tend to sneak their way in, so reading your post is such a boost. I am so pleased for you, especially with the little ones becoming bigger ones all the time. So thoughtful of you to think of us who are at the start of this somewhat challenging road. “May you live for a hundred years” as they say in Albania.
Thanks again. XXXXXXX
I echo Optimissey, Tors, what a lovely inspiring post, thank you for that and so pleased to hear that you are doing so well ? brilliant xxx
