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
