Feeling a bit down

I was pushed into menopause and then last year had a double mastectomy. All of this I think I managed relevantly well but just lately I have been struggling with…

Osteoporosis at 42
I’ve just been diagnosed with osteoporosis (my T score is -2.9) and I’m 42. I was diagnosed with BC in July last year... I’m NED and on Zoladex and Exemastane. This is something I was not expecting. I think I’m going to stop anti-cancer treatment. I don’t want my T score to drop any further.

numb
From the moment I was diagnosed earlier this year with stage 3 breast cancer, I have cried only once. Cancer or death doesn't frighten me but the thought of not being there for my son and not watching him grow is unfathomable. I want to lose my shit and fall into a heap and cry but it doesn't happen.

What doesn't kill you makes you stranger. And strangely more able to cope.
I got laid off work yesterday, like many of the nation's bottom dwelling disposables. Guess what? It's OK. Two ding dong doosey run ins with BC may have left me scarred and misshapen, but bloody hell, it makes you tough. So. Unlike many who haven't stared down the barrel of an obviously loaded gun, we've learnt how it…

OMG1 Not again round 3 coming up!
Well as usual I am here again whinging. But at least I know you girls are always here when I need someone to listen to my scary thoughts. After finishing twelve months of treatment from June 2018 to last day 30/7/2019 of chemo, rads, & Trastuzumab I thought it was all behind me. I have been free for 7 months. YAY! I had…

Two-year scan clear
Yay! In spite of my concerns, the ultrasound showed no cancer. The mystery of my odd and discoloured skin patch remains, but at least it's not cancer. Starting to breathe again.
