It's been a while since I last made any comment regarding your journey Tan and I hope it's all going well for you?!
I finally completed my radiation treatment a week after Easter and for now I am just on hormone treatment. Experiencing some intermittent swelling and tenderness but doing my best to get on with life even undertaking the Mother's Day Classic Walk.
Regarding the solo side of the travelling you have done I have pretty much gone alone to my surgeries, radiotherapy and associated appointments. Sadly, I have a mother and sister who have "run a mile" since my diagnosis, apparently this can happen. I do have a wonderful husband and two adult sons who still live at home who have been pretty good, for guys, about it all. I have never really minded going alone with it as long as I know that there are some people out there who will be there for me if I do end up needing them and that they understand that I might have a melt-down every now and again.
