how did it change my outlook ?...
Make the most of every moment. I have decreased my workload from full time to 4 days a week, as has my husband, so that we can spend more time doing the the things we enjoy. Going for walks, exploring our city (Melbourne), spending time with family and friends, perhaps going away for a night here or there. I guess, it's about making time for ourselves.
The other change is that I try to promote Breast Cancer awareness. I'm a secondary school teacher and my students knew exactly what was involved in my treatment. Because of my openess, I've had a number of students come to talk to me about their family members who have since been diagnosed. It's special to be able to be a support to them,
I've always had a fairly positive outlook. This hasn't changed and I am eternally grateful for BreastScreen finding my cancers at a very early stage. So I also try to promote this service to eligible women.
cheers ... Sheila
