All you ladies are so brave! When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer all I wanted to do is b where I am today. Past all the horrible treatment and have my hair back again. And here I am, right where i want to be. I took many photos of my bruised chest, my burnt chest, my shaved head, my funny eyebrows. Now I look back with admiration for that girl and what she went through. I'm very proud of her and i'm very proud to say she is me. No matter how bad it seems you will get through it. You will fight it. I was 29 with a 2 year old daughter when I was diagnosed in May 2011. Completely shattered would be putting it mildly. Now i'm 31, my daughter is 4 and I have a short bob like hair do. Apart from another year of hormone treatment all my treatment is finished. But I still get scared sometimes. I'm always feeling for lumps and I'm more than anxious waiting for the results of my yearly mammogram and ultrasound.

Good luck to you all, you'll be amazed at your own inner strenght. I know I was.
