Just looked back at my post and realised that a sentence was missing a word - usually doesn't matter but this one I think does :-) So as my post said -
"I nearly felt guilty when people would ask "what treatment do you need" and I would respond with "no nothing more" - they would look at me as if not having chemo meant that it must have been not significant - as if having both breasts REMOVED is not enough "treatment"!"
We all know that treatment for so many is so different and that each brings with it it's own ups, downs, side effects etc etc. I feel blessed that I did not have to have chemo or ongoing drugs just I am sure that some would say they are blessed that they didn't have 6 surgeries in 11 months.
As al I always say, the paths are all different and our journey in travelling them form our own individual stories.
