Back Again
I was diagnosed in January and had a wide excision on the 4th February. I think of myself as lucky as my mum had bc at 39 so I have been having yearly mammograms since 40 ( I have just turned 50) I have had lumpy boobs and so wasnt worried when they spotted something on the ultrasound.. Much to my dismay it was cancer. 1 DCIS grade 2 and 1 DC invasive, nothing in my lymph nodes. If I had not been vigilnet with my screening who knows! I start my ray treatment this week, 3 months since my surgery and am feeling great. I had huge issues with my boss not being accepting of my needing time of and was angry at the beginning that I should have had to go through that but have re-evaluated my life in the last few weeks, Have quit that job and found another one which is close to home. ( I was driving 2 & half hours a day!) I have moved in with my beautiful partner and he has been a tower of strength. My relationships with my children have deepened. As they say there are reasons for everything in life. I felt overwhelmed coming on here earlier while I was going through everything , I felt angry and in denial that I didnt belong here. That I was fit & healthy and this couldnt be happening to me, but here I am in a good place , accepting of it all and powering on through it... Going to do the Mothers day classic walk next week with family and friends - 2 days after I start my ray treatment, and looking forward to it. I look forward to making new friends on here.
