Words of wisdom

Timely post! Great anaology and I'm going to steal it. Know exactly what he means because although not a marathoner, I am a long distance cyclist and swimmer and know just how that last 10 ks can feel!

I'm only three months in, did my round 3 of four rounds of AC chemo yesterday, and had a bit of blurgh week last week in terms of thinking I wish this was just over (which I appreciate with need for ongoing hormonal therapy/vigilience/at least two or three more surgeries (depending on whether I end up with BRCA 1or 2 and need to get my ovaries removed)....it's never really going to be over and I really only spent quality time getting my head around this last week.

So with your onc's analogy in mind, I'm going to think of each part of treatment as a long distance event, so look at the switch to Tamoxifen once my chemo is over as my next event in the sporting calender, and ditto my reconstruction and preventative left mastectomy.

Given I've worked and played almost as normal since diagnosis and through chemo, I have a lot to be thankful for. And can only hope the next lot of 10ks ends are kind. Hard by kind. And always feel so fantastic to cross that finish line.

Wishing you all the best for the coming marathon. You'll kill it, cheered on by alll who care about you.

Thanks for sharing.
