I'm very lucky rosanna. My brother is one of my closest friends and he has barely left my side throughout this process. He has attended all of my appointments with me and been to every chemo. My husband doesn't cope well with hospitals so Jeffrey has been happy to step in. He sat with my husband at the hospital whilst I had my surgery and supported him. And jenny, well she is just a gem. She has suffered from lupus and fibromyalgia for many years and is such a trouper in herself. She is the most selfless person I know.
The process hasn't been all positive and laughs. We have tried very hard for it to be as positive as possible but I have struggled with depression and anxiety both before and during bc. It really is such a difficult journey (I hate that word!) but being able to bring a smile to others has made a difference in how I can cope. I still can't believe that chemo has finally finished. Today is traditionally my worst day after chemo and has lived up to its reputation but it has been easier to cope with knowing that this is the last time I have to go through this. It really is such a huge relief
