my first blog

Wow what a great way to connect with other survivors! I was diagnosed with early stage grade 3 breast cancer in 2008 (aged 32). My youngest daughter was 10 months old and I had only finished breast feeding her 3 weeks before I accidently felt a lump. I had a lumpectomy, 4 rounds of A/C chemo then 7 weeks of radiotherapy. Some days were a bit of a challenge with 2 young kids but they gave me every reason to stay positive and just get though it. I am now 2 and a half years through a 5 year stint on Tamoxifen and I hate it. So many times I have just wanted to throw them in the bin but the thought of getting cancer again scares the shit out of me, so I will keep taking them :-)
