Hey Paula, I'm with you girlfriend!!!!!. The aftermath of BC sucks and I have had big scares again recently to be told it is all okay. So I am running with that. Those scara and lumps and the alien I have now that is supposed to be a boob following the surgery and radiotherapy doesn't make me happy BUT I am alive and kicking, alien boob and all so I count my lucky stars every day. It doesn't mean it doesn't suck tho cause it does. The chemo brain, my god, that sucks, the hardest thing with that for me is words- remembering words to fit in the sentence I am saying, remembering someones name and remembering if I am having a conversation and I start talking and get interrupted what I was actually talking about. Very very frustrating but I am sure that will improve in time. I think a good diet, exercise, lots of water, fresh air and a positive attitude is the only thing that is going to help me beat all of this BC aftermath cause it does keep coming back to get ya if ya let it as I know.Stay strong, you have got this far and have won so keep on winning.Lots of love. I am thinking of you and know where you are coming from, Mich xoxoxo
