Reaccurance

Hi babs,

I know exactly how you are feeling......I've only got to 4 years but I'm triple negative so I haven't had any extra drugs. Like you I have a painful leg and have had neuropathy since the chemo so there are days when things feel bleak. But at every check up and each mammogram and ultrasound everything has been fine.The twinges are still scars healing. I tell myself that I must believe it will be ok and I write to encourage the newly diagnosed who are terrified. I have friends who have been clear from cancer for twelve, twenty two and twenty eight years. I am encouraged by this......but there will always be the down day......and the day before the next mammogram...........

I hope you continue to be well. 

Take care. Love Karen

Hi Karen same name as my daughter thanks for replying I was HER positive eastrogen receptive 2 grade 2 lumps Right mastectomy I must admit that since having cancer I'm well looked after by my GP practice the Tamoxifen affects my arthritis so consequently there's pain everywhere sometimes I think the cancer has returned but that's my brain going into overdrive unessecerally it is good that people get to 20 years etc gives me hope I think why I'm like this at the moment is someone I know has been newly diagnosed so my feelings about what I've been through come rushing back anyway its good your at the 4 year stage here's to a well and long life 

Love Babs
