Hi all I have completed 7 sessions of chemo (4 x EC, 3 x Docetaxel) and have just had a lumpectomy with follow up appointment next Thursday. I am having Herceptin injections every 3 weeks and have just started Letrozole tablets which I will be on for 5 years. After loads of anxiety following the original diagnosis, once I had a grip on things I have been really positive but it just takes one negative comment or careless remark from someone to change my mood and set me back. Does anyone else feel like this? I am realistic and know once cancer has come into your life it changes things - I already feel like a different person and look at life differently. Just need to be able to kick any negativity and those who bring it out!
It's great to know I am not alone in this - no one truly knows how it feels unless they have been through or are going through it. Keep going all you lovely ladies, together we are strong!
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
