Here We Go Again
I was initially diagnosed in January 2002. I had found a 3.5cm tumor under my left breast. A whirlwind of tests and treatment followed... Lumpectomy, chemo, radiotherapy, hysterectomy, 5 years tamoxifen followed by 3 years Letrozole.
And now its back!!
Mets have been found in my left humerus, liver and many of my lymph nodes. To top it all off, my humerus is broken in 2 places which adds another level of challenge to coping day to day.
I have just had week 3 chemo - Abraxane.. so today is day 19.
I guess you could say i'm lucky, I'm fairly financially secure, I have a huge support network, no small children and only me to think about. This makes it a lot easier to focus on nothing but fighting this and getting better.
I was so happy to find BCNA and see there are so many caring supporting people here. It helps so much to have stories to guide me through this next stage of my journey. I hope that maybe my experiences will be of help or comfort to someone too.
Good luck to all you beautiful people xxx
