One year on

Tomorrow is one year from the day I got my dx and to be honest at one stage I never thought I would get this far, but here I am!

It’s been a terrible year one way or another, with chemo coming close to killing me and all the other long term SEs that I will have to deal with, but I have made it thus far. I will be having my first post-treatment mammo next month and I am quite anxious about it but at the same time I am also so relieved to have got the active part of my treatment behind me now. Tamoxifen is proving to be more than bearable and my hair is finally starting to look a bit like hair again.

Yes, there are still issues to be dealt with but I just wanted to say to all of you just starting out, that there will be tough things to get through but it is possible to do it and come out the other side.

I wouldn’t be doing half so well without all the fabulous support I get from BCC and this forum. So thank you everyone for being there for me when I needed you most!

You are very welcome! xx

I think it is important to know that whilst there is no use denying that treatment is not easy (I’m living proof of that! lol) it *is* possible to get through it and come out the other end.

Best of luck with your treatment ladies!
