Hello ladies, I'm having my last (6th) chemotherapy treatment tomorrow and starting to look ahead to being post-treatment. You all write with such eloquence, and your experiences all touch mine, one way or another. We have all been down different paths, and for different reasons, have made certain decisions. Nevertheless, it seems that we all need acknowledgement from our nearest that we have been through a traumatic time. I have had many messages this evening congratulating me on my final ( hopefully!) treatment, celebrating getting back to normal, looking forward to the summer etc. and yet both my husband and I recognise we still have to face perhaps a second mastectomy, gene therapy, the after-effects of chemo and ten years of oestrogen inhibiting drugs. Oh, and the shadow of a recurrence. I almost feel as though the brave face and the ' I'm so lucky the cancer was found and operable' stance is going to have to be more firmly fixed in place over the next months as people who have been magnificent gradually return to normal life. So, thank you for sharing your fortifying experiences. Best wishes, Natalie
