New to blogging

Hi Janey

Thank you for your reply.  Firstly I must appologise for not putting my name on my blogg, still new to all this.  My name is Linda.

You are right in saying that we need to give ourselves time.  Our bodies are amazing things, but they have been through so much. I am probably exepecting to much of myself, I have always been a fit and healthy person, its just been a little hard to adjust to the new current me.

As you say take one day at a time.  I do Tai Chi several times a week, which is helping me get my fitness back and is me time. I think it is important to have some me time, especially when you have a  young family.

I have chosen at this stage not to have a reconstruction, I didn't want to put my body through any further trauma and my body image doesn't bother me or my family.  I may change my mind later, only time will tell.

Sorry to read that you too are having problems with the hormone therapy.  Its frieghtning to think that we may have these symptons for the next 5 to 10 years, but I think the risk of coming off the drugs and having the cancer return is, for me, too high.  I guess I should be grateful that the drugs are available to help me survive this terrible disease.

I hope your symptoms do subside for you Janey and wish you all the best with your continued treatment. I look forward to reading how your journey continues.

Love Linda  xx
