Calcifications confused

WOW! So pleased for you! Great to have a good news story! I believe the footprint is a worldwide ageing cancer..in other words how we get it, why and which countries are most affected, but I could wrong! How fantastic that they can’t see any cancer in you, long may it remain. I had calcifications in 2013 which I was told “not to worry about” and went back in 2015 and 2018 to be told nothing there! Then in 2021 discovered I had a mass so I’m upset that maybe I should have done more..who knows. I’m honestly pleased for you and wish you well!!  

Thank you   Im not sure what to make of it , I’ve never heard of calcification being there mid / after treatment if it wasn’t there before 

Aw no Im sure there was nothing else you could do , you can only act on the information you have at the time . You’re having treatment now and that’s the positive thing isn’t it

A complete pathological response is a great sign for the future, and for being cured. I am so thrilled for you x

Thank you so much ! 
I mean there will still be cancer in my breast but I’m so pleased with my progress so far and the fact my lymph nodes look normal has blown me away 

Still have 4 chemos to go but this has really given me a boost 

Hope you’re doing ok ?

Hi, I am doing well now. I finished chemo and radiotherapy and now 4 months out the tiredness is really lifting and I am starting to feel myself again. It is a bit strange ticking along on hormone therapy and having less appointments etc, but it is good to have the energy to throw myself back in to life again. A holiday is the next thing to look forward to, and will mark the changing season of life x

I’m so glad your energy is coming back now . I hope you have a fabulous holiday , well deserved ! 
Do you feel different mentally now would you say ?

I will always carry the high recurrence risk around with me, and the mistakes in my care, but honestly I don’t think about it all the time. I am still more tired than I would be and by the evening my brain doesn’t work well. I definitely know I have been through a major life event, but again, mostly life is too busy with 3 children to even think about it! I think I have also pared life down to those things I value most and have learned a lot about what makes me tick and keeps my body and mind in good shape.  Am so glad to have a holiday and change of 4 walls. I think it will be good for all the family. x

It’s so lovely to read this . I think the anxiety is always there in the background but so positive to hear you’re not thinking about it all the time . I’m only half way through chemo as I said but great to hear stories like yours ( except from the mistakes etc !) 

A family holiday sounds great  for all of you ️

Its a bit of a journey learning to live with risk, but I think counselling was really productive in helpgin verbalise ideas and figure out what helps and what doesn't. Would highly recommend it!
