Hi, I was diagnosed in November 2014 with early Breast Cancer. Ihave had a masectomy and lymph node removal on the right side. Prior to my diagnosis I had just achieved my goal of running 8 ks ( as part of the pink fun run!) and was looking towards a 10 k goal. My diagnosis has certainly put that goal on the back burner but not for ever. I am half way through chemo and have radiation to follow. I am starting each day with a super veg and fruit smoothy and replacing processed foods with healthy home made alternatives. I am trying to equip my body for the battle. I walk most days even if it is only a short beach walk during the first week after chemo. I find when I am feeling most fatigued a short walk around the garden peps me up, sometimes though I need reminding. I am very lucky to have support from family and friends to keep me motivated and positive. I listen to any songs I can sing too, I like a lot of Queen and ABBA...
