Hi all,
I am 42 and just recently been diagnosed with breast cancer in my left breast. I have had surgery - wide local excision + sentinel lymph node biopsy on the 1st of May. I am extremely lucky ...

I would like to thank you all so much for taking the time and responding to me. I have to say by joining this site it has help me so much. Even though I have huge suppot team around me (my children, family, friends) im finding they really dont understand what im going through, as none of them are going through or have gone though having BC. I love them all so much and i know they are all there for me and i do appreciate them all. But reading everyones blogs/comments on here from people who have either been through it or are still going through it has made me feel that im definitely not alone. This journey is such a eye opener beleive me. I have learnt so much about BC since joining here because seriously I just though BC was BC, and it effects so many people in so many different ways. And eveyone on here are so positive and
are truly amazing strong people. xx
Anyway I thought id let you all know that I seen the oncologist this week and have made my decision on my treatment and which path that im going to take. I have chosen to take the rough road and do the chemotherapy (docetaxel) for 4 months and then 30 treatments of radiation and I also will be taking that lovely tablet alot of you all write about tamoxifen fo 5 years. My chemo starts next Tuesday, but im thinking the quicker it starts the quicker it ends lol.
All the best to all of you xxx
