All Done!!

Well judging by the previous posts 12th july was a good day for a lot of people. I also finished my treatment today! After being diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2010, I have since had a mastectomy and reconstruction, chemo,radiotherapy and 12 months herceptin, the last of which was Tuesday. I have to see my onco in 6 weeks for follow up, but treatment is done! I have yet to have further surgery, but this will be in a few months time, I came home from the hospital yesterday, got straight on the internet and booked my holidays, so I am off for 2 weeks lazing about in the sunshine (smothered in sun block of course) . At the beginning of this journey I was totally bewildered by it all and scared of the road ahead, but here I am 14 months later, and I've done it!! For all you ladies who are just starting this journey, I wish you all the very best of luck, but remember it is do-able (is that a word?) and the time will pass quicker than you anticipate.

Sending love and best wishes to all,

Pixie xx

I went to my local breast clinic with a lump in my breast about 6 weeks ago. Since then I have has 2 biopsies, then diagnosis, then sentinel lymph node removal (which fortunately was clear), then 2 days later was in hospital and had mastectomy and reconstruction. I am now at home (had dressings removed yesterday) and feel like it has all happened to someone else! Just can not get my head round the fact that all this has happened in such a short time, and that it is because I have cancer! Anyone else ever feel this way?
