Fighting hard

Hi Kerry,

Thank you for sharing your story.  My story is similar - I was diagnosed last June, aged 34 years.  I have an amazing husband and 2 adorable little girls (6 and 3).  I remember being absolutely distraught upon receiving my diagnosis and kept thinking 'how long have I got'..... a little premature when I think back now but at the time that is all I could think about!  

My cancer is ER & PR + and HER2-.  I finished Chemo in Nov last year and finished 5 weeks of radiation in Jan this year.  I have started taking Tamoxifen and all is going as well as can be.  My hair is starting to grow - hallelujah!! and I am regaining my energy.

I can honestly say that 'time' really does heal this.  I recall crying every day for the first couple of weeks - it was all so overwhelming and I also become very emotional when I think of all of the support we received during my treatment. Our family and friends are out of this world - the best!!  We are so so lucky to have such a fantastic support network around us.  I really hope you do also :)

Going back to my 'time' comment - I can honestly say that I haven't cried for a good few months now!  I just take each day as it comes and enjoy my family and friends all so much more now - if that was even possible!

Thinking of you

Em
