This time last year (12th April 2018) I got diagnosed with TNBC.
I had 4 x Docetaxel and 4 x FEC. The day my last chemo was due, I ended up in hospital with a Pulmonary Embolism on my lung, so then ended up on blood thinners for 6 months. I had lumpectomy and 8 nodes removed for checking at the end of November. Got the good news that everything was clear and was cancer free a week before Christmas.
Started radiotherapy February and had my last one on the 5th March.
What I'm trying to say is when you are at your lowest and you think things are never ending, things will get better. I'm back at work full time, I'm doing regular walks with my husband. Friends have now joined us on our walks so we've renamed ourselves the Over 50's Club. Managed a walk of just over 11 miles yesterday. In the summer last year, I was struggling to walk around our local estate.
I can even feel my hair blowing again in the wind!!
There is light at the end of the tunnel so don't give up!!
Aww thanks, not too many tissues I hope

sounds amazing! So pleased for you! 
Well done and how funny. I looked into a small diary I’ve been keeping and saw that 1 yr ago today I started chemo.
Chemo was a short journey as was Herceptin but I had the full RT plus 3 ops. During all of the poop I was here as a Champ but for my own recovery I’ve taken a step back. I digress ...
I’m going to post a pic of me so that you can all say IT’S DOABLE, and not to get any wows or accolades or comments. I just wanted you all to say ‘that will be me this time next year.’
Keep making you a priority in your life. Say NO and mean it. Say YES and mean it too.

Life is like a boxing match, defeat is declared not when you fall ..... But when you refuse to stand up again ....... So, I get knocked down but I get up again. x
