I’m probably not the best example of when treatment is over, I was diagnosed with secondaries last year. But I do remember when chemotherapy and rads finished and surprisingly I tougher than I though I would, the reason I think was that after treatment is finished you don’t have th regular contact with nurses, drs, etc and people’s lives return to normal, my mam had taken some time off to help with my daughter but then went back to work. I did fet over this feeling and returned to ‘normal’ once I returned to work and just got on with routine things it was easier.
Joanne,
I am sorry to hear about the secondaries, how did this affect you? did you have more treatment?
Came off my steroids today, and boy do I feel tired, wish they had thrown a few more in for good measure!

Hi Claire
It all started with what I thought was a pulled muscle but it turned out to bone mets to spine and pelvis. I can’t say this time last year was much fun but to be honest in terms of my treatment and general health not much has changed. The biggest thing for me was rads to ovaries to put me into menopause, therefore stopping a slim chance of more children, but in honesty I would rather be here for the one I have than sacrifice anything. I was then taken off tamoxifen and put onto letrozole and everything is now ‘stable’ . It has been hard emotionally ut thanks to this site and lovely ladies on the bone mets thread particularly I’m getting on with life.
I remember the ‘down’ days well and just listen to your body and rest, where possible.

I am 36. I was diagnosed last month after a completely random medical. I have just had a mastectomy and reconstruction. I am a mum to an active two-year-old boy. I feel completely overwhelmed!you can’t even hold my little boy! My husband is working in the states so I am alone. I do have help from my parents but I just crave the normality of being a mum. Would love to connect with other young mums.
I am very eager to learn about the topics. Viagra Online It is quiet identical and effective may be. Need special attention.
