2 years ago my mum was diagnosed with stage 3 (?) breast cancer. I was only 15 and still at school, i couldnt cope with that! Im nealry 18 now, and i still cant!
She had to have the full works. She had a Lumpectomy on my 16th
Birthday!! And had lost of complications with that.. That was in the
October of 2009 and then by the November she had started the 5 months of
Chemotherapy.. Complications with that also as she got an infection and
i nearly lost her. BIG TIME! By the March of 2010 she finished having
Chemotherapy and then had a 'one sided' Mastectomy and the 5/6 weeks
worth of Radiotherapy And after that.. she got given the 'All Clear'
which is fab. Just waiting on re-con now.. But if im totally honest, i
need lots of reassurance that she is going to be ok in the long run! :(
