Hi all, I just thought I would introduce myself :)
My name is Meghan & I am 47. I was diagnosed on 1/6/2011. I underwent 6 rounds of chemo, a double mastectomy & 25 rounds of radiation.
Also 1 week ago I had a radical hystorectomy including ovary removal.
I find it very difficult if not impossible to start living again. I am hoping to make small steps toward this soon :)
Anyway, that is all I have to say for now :) Blessings to all
Hi Robyn, my BC was hormone receptive & I was on Tamoxifen for over 15 months. I put on over 30 kilos :( It was a case of - maybe the cancer will come back or I will get diabetes and/or heart disease. I was offered Zoladex but after reading about it I also refused that :) My GP & I fought hard to have the hysterectomy done & my Onc was against it. In fact he laughed at me when I suggested it. Luckily my gyno was more receptive & immediately agreed.
I guess for me now the hardest thing is **What do I have left that identifies me as a woman**
I live with my daughter, son in law & 2 small grandchildren, who make me smile like there is no tomorrow.
I will pop in regularly & thank you for the welcome, Megs
