My Journey

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008. My husband had passed away in April  I found the lump in October, I live on my own and was devasted, how could this happen,  I had a lumpectomy, and thought thats that,wrong radiation followed, how to get there, I don,t drive, my family don,t live close, pallative care came to the rescue, I had a loverly lady pick me up every day for the six weeks treatment, I didn,t have to have chemotherapy, Iwas asked to join a clinical trial,which I have done . I have to take arimidex every day,  as I have  osteoporosis, so the trial is fosamax with the arimidex,, any way the trial is for 5 years, and I will be 75 when its finished,

  • Hi Di, thank you for your welcome to the network, I am just learning my way around the computor, and I seem to getting into somr bother, for instance I replied to a reply , and somehow I think I pressed something wrong, any way it dissapeared, however I will keep on trying, thanks once again for your welcome.             Margaret

  • Hi Margaret -- good on you for persisting!  Everyone is learning the site together, so just ask if you get stuck.  We are having a bit of a problem with the 'preview' function at the moment, so I'd suggest not using that till we get it fixed.  If you want to make a new post, or reply to someone, then just type into the text box and click 'save'.  You can still go back and edit later if you make a mistake.

    Let me know if you come across anything you can't work out, or you can always look at the Help or Q&A pages -- there's lots of good information there. :)
