Merry Xmas to all:)

Hi ladies, hope you all are doing as well as can be expected. Just thought i would check in, has been a while since I have been on the site. I have been a bit selfish really. I found my depression and anxiety would sometimes play up when I read some of the more sadder blogs, so I took a break. As for my progress, I am going very well, back at work (took a bit of time to settle back in) but all is good now. My partner is also doing well (he developed heart problems half way through my chemo) what a year it has been! This time last year I was at the halfway mark, no hair, overweight, wondering what in the world we had done to deserve such bad luck. However, today we hosted a Xmas luncheon for my family who were so supportive during our troubles, I decided to go full on just like we used to do when our parents were alive and they were most appreciative. They all commented how much I had changed and they are right, I am a much stronger person now. However,I did start to worry last week because for 2 weeks I have had a pain just under my left breast where they operated, my ribs were tender. My mind started to think 'what if?' Went to my treasured GP and he is convinced it is muscular caused by the effects of the radiation. Wouldn't you know it? Pain went away 2 days later:) I guess we all start to worry with any ache or pain nowadays. Due to see my oncologist mid January, so I will mention I did have the pain. Enough blogging for now, I intend to check in more often and help anyone I can, I like doing that as I can remember how helpful it was to me. I would like to wish everyone on the site a very merry xmas and for those of you that are doing it tough, big hugs to you, life does get better for most of us, take care.
