Morning everyone,
I was diagnosed with a low grade breast cancer in November at 43. I had lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy 11th December and my appointment for pathology results yesterday. The results were great! Clear margins, no cancer found in lymph nodes, no chemotherapy needed. I'll need 5 sessions of radiotherapy and then Tamoxifen for however many years.
Great news right? I'm so incredibly lucky and I know so many of you lovely people are going through so much more. I'm obviously thrilled but can't get out of this ... I don't know what to call it really. Maybe a feeling of dread moving onto the next stages and going back to "normal". I cried for hours yesterday at the thought of going back to work. I should be elated right?
I am still healing from surgery. I have large breast and they're so heavy and painful at times and seem to pull on the wounds. I'll have a a few good days followed by some bad and need rest and lots of pain meds.
I know everyone is different and I know I have been very lucky. I feel guilty just writing this post. I just wonder if anyone else in a similar situation feels like this?
Thank you x
