Hi
I'm not sure why I'm on this forum after what I just read about @time. As I'm one of the lucky ones I have the most bestest support network both at home and work.
I don't want to take away from someone in need, I've come on this forum looking for something, but what I'm not sure.
So my story goes in May 2018 diagnosed with Early Onset Parkinson disease.
Then MRI found deposits on my brain which now I am under the care of a neurogenetsis at RNS - they only take you if your an obscure case.
But my year ended even worse in Dec 2018 when I found the dreaded lump. In January had a left breast mastectomy with 11 lymph nodes removed, my results were 4 x invasive tumours (Stage 2 IIIA), numerous in situ carcinomas and 5 lymph nodes were positive.
This now involves 6 months of Chemotherapy then 25 rounds of radiation treatment - BLOODY long year!!!!!!
I have completed my first cycle of the really yucky Chemo - that was fun..not. Next week I start cycle 2 of chemo for 12 weeks, whilst I try and go back to work.
Returning to work is for my mental stability, I have realised that at 46 I'm to young to retire and I don't want to - I love my job and my work colleagues, I miss then terribly.
It is funny what you miss when you can't have it.
So this is my story about Cancer (and other health issues)thus far!!
