In March this year I was diagnosed as having stage 2 er positive invasive ductal cancer which I was told rather coldly by consultant over the phone. After 2 further biopsies I finally had a lumpectomy and 8 lymph nodes removed in April. During this time I cried and cried thinking why me. Its not fair. Thankfully I had my mum at the end of the phone because there were days I really struggled. I contacted Macmillan Support Line and through the Bupa Scheme I have been having counselling which has helped with the emotions. Last week I finally saw the oncologist which was delayed because I had Covid. Since getting my plan of 5 sessions of radiotherapy and hormone treatment it feels like a weight has been lifted from me. Although i really dont want hormone treatment. I am giving it a go. Although I cried a lot yesterday after my planning scan. I feel the end is close. I guess the reason for this post is to say if you are struggling with your emotions during your cancer journey dont be afraid to ring the support line.
Thanks for reading. Would be interested to see other peoples thoughts. x
