I thought I would share something I did. I kept a private facebook journal. I shared the ups and downs. My fears. My treatments. I took photos of my mastectomy with tbe drains, my breast reconstruction, of every chemo. I photographed my bald head. Iwanted to live it , feel it, remember it. ..and then be able to let it go. I still write 8 months on. Now its about the fight back. Becoming a survivor and reclaiming life. It helped me but also it opened the understanding of so many others who had no idea what having breast cancer treatment was like. And what recovery is like. I included family of my choice, work friends and friends. Personal invite only. It also meant when we met up we didn't have to just talk about my cancer treatment because they already knew. Kath x
