Thank you Robyn that is very kind of you to enquire how I am going. I had my final chemo just over three weeks ago and have stated my radiotherapy (2 rounds of 25).
I am going pretty well and feeling much better now that chemo is behind me. I think I can even see some growth in my hair lol. Still have a way to go though - had appointment with my surgeon and I asked him what he thought about me having my other breast removed. It so happens that he has just returned for a Surgeons Conference in Singapore where he learned that women who have a single mastectomy, like me and then go on to have the other side taken lower their risk of BC returning by up to 45%. He feels this is significant so I am thinking that once I am all healed from radiotherapy, say October, I will let him book me in for surgery.
I am happy with how quickly the time seems to be passing and I think I have come to a place of acceptance of where I am in life at the moment. My job is to do everything I can to recover physically and stay emotionally grounded.
How are you travelling Robyn? Are you getting stronger and stronger every day? I hope all is well with you.
Big hugs
