Hi !
Hard to know where to start, I am so proud of myself for joining this group ( i,ve only been here for 5 mins. ) I think its such a huge step for everyone to have taken. I suppose you can only make that when you are ready . For me , my journey started in September 2025 with multi focal early right breast cancer . That's the first time i've actually said or written that!! And yes the last 6 months felt like the roller coaster with biopsies and surgeries, hormone treatment radio therapy , complete tooth removal, (still waiting for new teeth) and now about to start the Ribociclib. And Yes ,sometimes i am so angry I have to melt down its so important to be able to . I notice though that gets less and less because every time i come into a new community, like at the hospital or clinics or here. I am filled with so much love , hope, admiration and gratitude. I suppose thats all I want to share today. Lets ride the roller coaster together !!!!!
Welcome and thank you for sharing, I am about a year ahead of you on the Roller coaster and also on Ribociclib and Letrozole.
Life is slowly returning to normal although I don't think it will ever be quite the same, maybe appreciated a bit more!
The physical and mental scars take a long time to heal but suddenly I realise that I haven't been bothered by something that I was previously concerned about. Time as they say is a great healer.
Wishing you well xxx
