I am 60yrs old and was diagnosed with breast cancer in May this year and had a mastectomy in June. I was devastated and felt so low. My first thoughts were am I going to die, and how ncan I leave my kids. After the op I had chemo which was horrendous then I had Radiotherapy. I am now on Letrozole.

Yesterday I had a visit to the Oncologist for a check up and for the first time I dared ask if Iwas cancer free. The last six months have been such a blur and I never wanted to ask too many questions in case I got an answer I didn’t want. However she told me the op had been successful I now have no cancer. I wil take the Letrozole for five years to supress the hormones that cause the cancer and I will worry about what happens after that in five years.The hospital staff have been brilliant I felt so looked after and can’t thank them enough.

 I am so relieved at the outcome, it is the best Xmas present I could ever have.

This web site has been a god send just to know there are others out there like me has helped so much.

Good luck to you all.

Heres to the future

Hi Melena great to hear you got the all clear:)

I was dx not long after you, in August - kind of wrecked the summer, but it was already a crap year, so icing the cake really! They don’t say all clear to me, just no evidence of disease. I am very happy to be NED!
I’m looking forward to christmas too - and then seeing off what has been a bad year, not just cancer.

I agree this site is amazing, just been on the 5 years thread. That really helped me too:)
