Any advice for a newbie?

Hi Tracey

This post could have been written by me! I was diagnosed on sept 29 with a stage 1, grade 2 lobular carcinoma. I was offered chemo and radio. My sentinel lymph was clear, had 5 removed, I was anxious and depressed!  I have just finished treatment of 2 surgeries to remove margin on last one, 4 rounds of chemo, 16  radio sessions.  I am 6wks from treatment and still feel fatigued and tired but I did it Tracey and have had a  good prognosis going forward.  I still have anxiety about reoccurrence which i feel is totally normal, i had to make a concerted effort in ignoring those who get off on telling you cases of dying (sick people!) and surrounded myself with positive people even if that means cutting off family members too and hung with the dragon abreast girls who are inspirational,  saw a psychologist through cancer council,  ate well, did what makes me happy. This whole process is a real test on our thought patterns as important as eating well. Call your breast care nurses they are the best. 

Go outside sit in the sun for 10 mins every day and your mantra is I will be fine, everyday and exercise even when you don't feel like it. Contact me if you want I think we have the similar or same!

All the best, Janet xxxx
