BC Survivor!

That's me! As a lovely friend pointed out to me today! I had my follow up mammogram last week, and my GP looked at the pictures today and said it looked pretty normal to her! I see my surgeon next month but am feeling pretty good. I am tolerating tamoxifen quite well, and feeling so much stronger every day. Not as tired. So lovely pink friends who are struggling through chemo, and or radiation, there is light at the end of tunnel. You will get through this! when you think it's never going to end, when you think I just want to go to sleep for a month and wake up from this nightmare, when you think you can't feel or look any worse! JUST HANG ON!!! Much love Pennny

    Congrats and well done Penny.  Us ladies need to hear more of the truthful feel good stories.  I am half way through my 7 weeks of radiotherapy following my 6 chemo cycles which really knocked me.

    I agree that you do start to realise that there is a world out there that you will be able to join once you manage to get over the worst.

    I am on Tamoxifin and have a few side effects (especially them blood hot flushes and sweats - shocking!!!!) but compared to what we have been through it is manageable.

    Thank you for sharing your positives cause we all need to know we can get there in the end following the long hard slog. 

    You looking good so well done, keep on trucking.

    Mich xoxo

    I had 6 x chemo and 6 weeks radiation too. Hope you ladies are feeling okay, I know what you mean with the hot flushes, but mine have settled a little. Thank goodness! Xxxx
