Hi everyone and thanks for giving me this precious opportunity to share my thoughts with you all
I'm about to start my first cycle of radiotherapy in one week time and it took me ages to accept it… going through lots of bad thoughts and almost near to giving it up.
Then I went to hospital last Thursday and met a nurse telling me I would simple get a tattoo … I would not allow anyone to touch my breast anymore as it has been dreadfully painful inside ..But I don’t believe her.
Well I’ll see in exactly 9 days what it is..God knows and will give me courage to get there and accept it
a huge hug to all the girls young and still beautiful you may be…
