&lt;p&gt;Im 32 and have a fantastic husband and 2 great children but 2 weeks before xmas i was told that i had breast cancer in my right breast which had spread to my armpit and lymph nodes in my neck. i had been going to my GP for 12 months previous because of a lump in my breast and neck but he assured me it was a sports injury.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had my last chemo in April- thankgod! and 2 weeks ago i had a masectomy. i saw my oncologist yesterday to talk about my radiopherapy, he was pleased with my operation as the tumours in my armpit , neck and breast had more or less gone, which is great but know i have got to have a MRI scan because my last CT scan showed a thickening in the bones of my back, but he seems to think it is a side effect of the chemo, -has anyone else experienced this? is it&amp;nbsp; normal?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two weeks ago i felt like i could see light at the end of the tunnel, but now i feel like im in the dark again and im cracking up. Up until now i have been really posative and have only cried a handful of times, but now i feel sick when i see myself in the mirror and cry all the time. im scared that im not gonna be here for my kids............................................... please let&amp;nbsp; there be other people out there like me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=343204&amp;AppID=30843&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Former Member</name><uri>https://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermember</uri></author><category term="Breast cancer" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/chelsea_girl/archive/tags/Breast%2bcancer" /><category term="chemotherapy" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/chelsea_girl/archive/tags/chemotherapy" /><category term="CT Scan" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/chelsea_girl/archive/tags/CT%2bScan" /><category term="feelings" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/chelsea_girl/archive/tags/feelings" /><category term="MRI scan" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/chelsea_girl/archive/tags/MRI%2bscan" /><category term="operation" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/chelsea_girl/archive/tags/operation" /><category term="Oncologist" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/chelsea_girl/archive/tags/Oncologist" /><category term="Sports" scheme="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/chelsea_girl/archive/tags/Sports" /></entry></feed>
