What is life like after breast cancer

You are right @nannabee . I have moments of peace gratitude and appreciation even just for really simple things now . And sometimes I feel more alive / feel more intensely if that makes sense . It’s not always like that of course but I worry less about stupid things than I used to ( always been a worrier ) . It was awful at the time but in some ways it’s taught me a lesson . Xx

Joanne I’m 100% with you on that. All the silly things that “were so important” have been put in their correct place- so what if I can see dust on the table and yet it’s a great feeling the morning I get up and do the dusting without even thinking about it, stupid I know. For the previous couple of years I’d relied heavily on pre-cooked meals, now I get pleasure from cooking from scratch and healthily- my husband is loving that. Even getting caught in the rain last week and arriving home resembling a drowned rat, it was so refreshing and my husband couldn’t understand why I was laughing, although he was glad I’d had the sense to put his newspaper under my coat and kept it dry. I still can’t quite get my head round it all and occasionally think I shouldn’t be this relaxed. Yes I’m struggling with some bits, mainly the side effects of Letrozole, but in the most part I am one very happy bunny. My wish for each and every one of you is that you get to this stage and quickly - life is for living. Joanne sending you big hugs, stay well, stay happy. Lots of love xx

I promise you will soon see light at the end of that very dark tunnel. Take one day at a time, there’s nothing you can do about the yesterdays, they are done and you are stronger than you think. Ok today is not a good day but hopefully tomorrow will be a better one and if it isn’t come on here and there will always be somebody to give you a big hug. We all support each other through this and we all hold your hand. Make sure you take good care of you, you are the important one in all of this, pamper yourself, treat yourself and most importantly be kind to yourself.

I am wishing you better times and the strength to climb off the floor and stand tall and look cancer in the eye, telling it you are going to win. Please keep posting, sending lots of love and that big hug. xxx

EVERY DAY IN EVERY WAY WE ARE STRONGER :heart:
