Hey guys, Well today was my final surveillance appointment & I’ve been discharged yay!! Now don’t get me wrong I’m over the moon & very, very grateful that I’ve reached this point but I feel strangely flat instead of the expected elation. My surgeon...
Just wanted to share a thought provoking comment & conversation I had with my Oncologist at my appointment yesterday.. I'm 21 months after treatment and off I went for my "chat!" To put things in perspective although I'm generally doing well and so...
