On our own
I have just completed 4 and a bit months of chemo after being diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and having both breasts removed and the lymph nodes removed from under my left arm. I am about to leave my family and travel to have 5 weeks radiation. I have tried to remain positive for the sake of my family and have even returned to work during this time. I guess at the moment I am feeling a little sorry for myself. I know I have been lucky to have a very supportive family but as a patient from a rural area I haven't had any support from any other area I feel like we have had to do this very much on our own and there have been times when it has been tough as you all would know. This is the first blog post I have written and I think I am just using it to vent. Sorry x
