I'd like to say "Hello" to all you Ladies out there. I know the anxiety you feel when you have been diagnosed with breast Cancer. I was diagnosed 7 Months after my Mother died of the disease and was still grieving for her. I had 2 ductal carcinomas and 1 invasive carcinoma and in 1 lymph gland and although I had conservative surgery I needed a wide excision. I had Chemo and Radium and took Tamoxifin for 3 years and then Arimidex. I am very happy to say that I I am still going strong 15 1/2 years later. I also tested positive for the braca 2 gene and had my ovaries removed. Two Months ago, under the recommendation of my Surgeon, I had a bi-lateral masectomy and have not looked back. It has made.me a much stronger person and taught me to appreciate life and what it has to offer. I would like to tell you that there is life after breast cancer. All the best in your journies. Lots of love, Ruth xxx
