Futuretwo thanks so much for this message, I have only just seen it. You’re right about thinking about what might give you ‘the edge’. My onco said how important exercise is so I have started training for a 10k! It’s hard going but I feel good that I’m doing something positive xx

Roadrunner I’m so encouraged to hear you are 10 years clear. Your diagnosis is almost exactly the same as mine. What an inspiration you are xx

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely and supportive response Delly. My little boy is William and he's 5 tomorrow so busy getting his birthday presents wrapped. I do take so much hope from all the lovely ladies on here who have come through it and are still here supporting the rest of us. I see my onco next week so that will be a positive I hope, she is very matter of fact but normally reassuring. Also don't work on Wednesdays so have a lovely day off tomorrow!! Big hugs to all xx

Thank you so much for your responses ladies. I haven't had a mammogram or any follow up yet- I see my onco on the 19th so I'm hoping she will let me know where we go from here. It is the fact that suddenly your safety net of regular hospital trips has gone and people do assume you're 'back to normal' as it were. I'm sure with time it will get easier. I will look into a moving forward course, we have a maggies here in Oxford so sure they will have the info. Char xx

Hi, I'm very new to the forum and haven't really posted before. I'm HER2 +, grade 3, stage 2/3 with 2 nodes involved. Treatment has gone well, I respond very well to chemo, had the new drug pertuzumab added to my regime and have recently finished radiotherapy. However I'm really really struggling, I can't seem to think about anything else- I know my reoccurrence risk is very high and I just assume it's going to happen. I imagine ever ache/pain/slight cough is cancer. How do you all face the future with positivity? I have a 4 year old and every time I look at him it breaks my heart he might have to grow up without a mummy. I know I should be enjoying my time more and worrying is not going to make thing different, I'm just really struggling- any advice gratefully received xx

Hello all, I've never posted before (and really only just found this site). Wonder if anyone else had any lung issues after rads. I finished on 7th July and for the last few weeks have been experiencing strange noises when breathing (only when lying down)- not really wheezing but more of a strange feeling when I take a deep breath. I've no shortness of breath or cough or anything but am panicking a bit that something sinister could be going on in my lung? Anyone experienced the same? Hugs Char
