One year today..
Just an update and to send everyone my best wishes. It is 12 months today since I was diagnosed. In some ways I have changed and in some ways I'm still the same. Small things still get to me but I'm ...
Congrats on the 1 year mark.I've just had my 2year anniversary so we must have been diagnosed around the same time but a year apart. I think it's only natural to be worried that cancer might return- still pretty raw at the 1 year mark.With my first bout of cancer in 2003,I remember be confident at the 2 year mark.I felt it was a "one off"and I was surely cured.I still got abit anxious at mammogram time but forgot about it inbetween.Getting it back 7 years later has changed that confidence.Also a mastectomy is more of a constant reminder than a lumpectomy.I guess we just have to somehow live with this bc threat .There is comfort knowing that others feel the same. Having ALL the treatments as well as Hercepton has made it a long journey for you Alison. You have showed amazing strength.
love Tonya xx
