Hi all,
My name is Joanne and I was diagnosed with bc from my first routine mammogram. Since then, 30 Jan it has been such a roller coaster ride I,m still hanging on.
First a lumpectomy, then maste...
Hi, I agree it is a rollercoaster to begin with and you just have to go with the flow. I had a small business i ran by myself and still did all through my treatment and recovery. Because it was my own I was able to close when I felt shity and open the rest. I found that the support and well wishes of the general public helped keep me motivated and looking to the future. If you want to work, you should have a chat with your employer and see if they are willing to be a bit flexible with your hours. Most will, its worth a shot, but dont over do it and fall in a heap. (Must admit, I did!)
I am not 2 years post all treatment and enjoying life with family and friends and NO appointments apart from routine check ups.
Hold on tight and see where lifes journey takes you, I have a new look on life because of my cancer and have done things I didnt think I would ever do. So there is life and love after bc, you just have to look under the right rock.
