4 weeks today!

Well here goes for my very first post!  4 weeks ago today I underwent a mastectomy and I'm feeling fine!!!  In fact, I tried on my Berlei bra for the first time this morning and felt that I looked back to normal, whatever that is.....I received my first copy of The Beacon today and identified with so much in it.  I feel so supported in my journey and am comforted in knowing so many of us have gone through or are having the same experience.

  • Hi Hazel Thanks for the welcome! I have just started chemo - one down with five sessions to go. So far it hasn't been too bad although tiredness and mild nausea are a part of daily life!!
  • Well done on your first blog. I'm so pleased you are feeling fine. The beacon has many articles that we can identify with, it's good to know we are not alone during this experience. Is there any further treatment planned for you? Stay in touch and let us know how you are going. Take care,
