I don't deny that I was diagnosed with breast cancer, nor do I deny that I have had surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy for breast cancer - but do I say I still have breast cancer, or do I sa...

Hi Penny my thoughts are exactly yours.I still stumble and say i have breast cancer though im assured i dont.Had my 12 month mammogram ultrasound and blood tests and there is no sign of any cancer left.However i think once having the big C its hard to adjust to the fact that its gone.Our minds are fickle and there is always that doubt in the back of it.The surgery with clear margins, mastectomey, chemo ,herceptin,radiation, and now just had my ovaries removed.Are apparently enough to stop the spread of future progression.The Aromison is the final blocking stage of any cancer cells being able to form.Omg what a list!!!what a battle our mind and body has been through.
Im from a small country town and hate being looked at as the woman with breast cancer.We are seriously considering moving where noone knows about all i have gone through.I have an 11 year old and it will be good to make a fresh start new place new school new job.I dont think people need to know straight away the journey we have been on.People come and go in our lives for a reason and i think if we feel comfortable enough the right time will come if we feel the need to share with others about our journey.Im looking forward to meeting new people now im not bald and bloated from chemo.
Goodluck with your new life i hope it all works out well for you xx
