It is now January 2023 and almost 5 years since my mx. I am ‘still’ waiting for the contralateral mx and reconstruction, thanks to delays caused by Covid. I feel normal again. I am trying to be normal again, but fear eats away at every waking moment and often creeps into my sleep too. I have spinal degradation, brought on by the treatment, which makes it painful to do anything, even walk, but I’m alive. I worry about…
Here I am again, this time to celebrate the anniversary of the Awake thread, 3 years! How easy it has been to forget how my life was impacted by all this, turned upside down and rattled till everything fell out and smashed. It took a long time and a lot of fighting to find all the pieces and put everything back together, to achieve some kind of normality. I thought I had gone back to normal, but I realise now that I am…

I have used double the sachets of moisturiser and although it itches a little, I am not sore and there is hardly a difference in colour to the skin, apart from my underarm, which is very dark.
