Hi everyone, Just wanted to pop in and say there is always hope and a light at the end of that long tunnel ! I was diagnosed in september 2013, finished my six rounds of horrible chemo with two overnight stops and one week in hospital with nuetropenia, had two ops as i had lymph node involvement and 4.5 weeks of radiotherapy that finised in september. My surgeon declared me ok a week before christmas and my next visit for a check up is june ! Yes it was horrible, i was sick and had all of the yucky side effects but chemo is the worst bit and it does honestly get better 🙂 my chemo was worth it my lump went from 4.5cm to 1.0 cm so it did its job ! I had beautiful bottom length hair before i started, was only bald for six months and i now have a thick head of different colour curly hair:) Im 41 now, i wont be able to have children l, im on tamoxifen for the next 10 years but im here and alive and starting to feel well again . I followed everything the hospital said, had a great diet, watched lots of funny films and tried to stay postiive through it, it feels surreal already and time has flown. Hang in there ladies, have a count down for each part of your journey, celebrate at the end of each bit, be positive, dont be too hard on yourselves you can get through it 🙂 Best of luck and lovely wishes to you all Kay x
