Five month after my diagnosis

Hi hun, How are you? Reading your post and I wanted you to know that all those feelings you have are so normal for women who have just finished treatment. The fear of Reoccurence is great. To start with every headache backache chest ache or sore toe you instantly think it is the cancer returning. Over time this lessens and you are able to start taking back control of your life. You need to trust your medical team and attend your check ups with your oncologist and if anything does ever come up your going to be 3 steps ahead of the cancer your sitting with an oncologist. For me it is always going to be a fear but I need to put that aside and enjoy my life and the 2 beautiful children I was blessed to share it with. As for the tamoxifen I also take this. For me I was a little emotional to start off but once I worked out what dose suited me it's been smooth sailing with minimal side effects. It is a very lonely feeling once you finish chemo you go from weekly visits with various medical appointments and all your family are around to support but once you finish chemo it's like you are fixed now life go's back to normal for them but for us this is where things can get lonely. That's why sites like this are absolutely amazing. The love, support and understanding we all share for each other as fellow pink ladies is what gets me through. And I know it's not just me that now feels these ladies are now my new pink extended family. Cancer is terrible but if your lucky enough to have beaten it I say embrace your life and the beauty around you. Take the time to enjoy your children tou will be amazed at how quickly their beautiful souls can mend your pain and make you forget. Xx
